The GRS-1 receiver is a dual-frequency, GPS + 
GLONASS L1, L2 receiver and hand-held controller built 
to be the most advanced, compact, and portable receiver 
for the GIS and surveying market.

An integrated electronic compass and digital camera 
make the GRS-1 an all-purpose device that can also be 
utilized as a field collector.

The GRS-1 can receive and process both L1 and L2 
signals while using an external PG-A1 antenna.

The GRS-1 provides the functionality, accuracy,
availability, and integrity needed for fast and easy data 
collection.
