Introduction 

The GMS-2Pro receiver is a single-frequency, GPS+GLONASS L1 
receiver and hand-held controller built to be the most advanced, 
compact, and portable receiver for the GIS surveying market. An 
integrated electronic compass and digital camera make the GMS-2Pro 
an all-purpose, GIS field mapping unit. 

The GMS-2Pro receiver is a multi-function, multi-purpose receiver 
intended for precision markets. Precision markets means markets for 
equipment, subsystems, components and software for surveying, 
construction, commercial mapping, civil engineering, precision 
agriculture and land-based construction and agriculture machine 
control, photogrammetry mapping, hydrographic and any use 
reasonably related to the foregoing. 

The GMS-2Pro provides the functionality, accuracy, availability, and 
integrity needed for fast and easy data collection.  

Principles of Operation 

Surveying with the right GPS receiver can provide users accurate and 
precise positioning, a requirement for any surveying project. 

This section gives an overview of existing and proposed Global 
Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and receiver functions to help 
you understand and apply basic operating principles, allowing you to 
get the most out of your receiver. 

GNSS Overview 

Currently, the following three global navigation satellite systems 
(GNSS) offer line-of-site radio navigation and positioning, velocity,
