The Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System version 11.2 supports new single point mapping functionality that allows the operator to record very accurate point information from the blade, bucket, or drum focus position. Using this new capability as a dialog on the Trimble CB430 Control Box, the operator can add the point name and attribute information to a series of collected points, such as a trench center line.Single point mapping increases the ability to collect as-built information from the machine and complements the work being done by grade checkers. It is particularly well suited for applications where it is dangerous or impossible to place a grade checker in the area of excavation.The as-built information can then be transferred back to the office over the wireless two-way data synchronization link using Trimble Connected Site™ solutions in the Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System. By allowing for fast and easy on-machine data collection and real-time transfer to the back office decisions based on as-built data and site conditions can be made more rapidly.  Read More
