TRIMBLE CATALYST

High accuracy on demand GPS positioning service for your smartphone

OVERVIEW

It's GPS, but not as you know it…

Trimble Catalyst is GPS positioning-as-a-service for Android smartphones and tablets.

To build Catalyst, Trimble have extracted the core of their hardware GPS receiver technology and transformed it into a software service that can run inside an app on your phone. So all you have to do is select a service plan to get on-demand accuracy, directly to your mobile device.

With the addition of a simple, light-weight USB antenna, running the Catalyst service app on your Android device can turn your smartphone or tablet into a powerful centimeter accurate mapping, navigation, and measurement instrument that you can use with any location-enabled app or service.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Trimble Catalyst?

Trimble Catalyst is a subscription service that allows you to generate and use centimeter-accurate GPS positions on your smartphone or tablet. As a Catalyst subscriber you can choose to be automatically charged monthly on an unlimited use plan, or alternatively pre-pay for on demand access on an hour-by-hour basis.

Do I need GPS Correction services to use Catalyst?

Trimble Catalyst uses GPS corrections to generate highly accurate GPS positions. Your subscription includes access to the Trimble Corrections Hub, which lets you use Trimble and Trimble partner correction services. Trimble Corrections Hub coverage is available in many parts of the world, but is not yet available worldwide. Check the latest coverage here. If the Trimble Corrections Hub does not provide suitable coverage in your location, you will need to provide your own local correction service.
