Trimble xFill runs seamlessly in the background automatically bridging the gap if a users RTK or VRS correction source is interrupted due to cellular signal disruption or loss of radio connectivity
Powered by Trimble RTX technology, Trimble xFill leverages real-time data from a global tracking station network along with innovative positioning and compression algorithms to compute and relay satellite orbit, satellite clock, and other systems adjustments to the receiver, resulting in the real time high accuracy positions. These adjustments are transmitted to the receiver via satellite (where coverage is available).
When turned on, the receiver tracks the RTX (L-band) satellite as well as every satellite in its field of view including, GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and QZSS satellite constellations. From the L-band satellite, you will receive the RTX real time correction stream that allows you to calculate your position to high accuracies, without the need of a base station.


  • Standard xFill: Free for the first 5-20 minutes (application dependent) after the loss of an RTK correction source on all compatible devices
  • Enhanced xFill: Works indefinitely on the Trimble R10 GNSS System and Trimble NetR9s Geospatial receiver with a valid CenterPoint RTX subscription

Land/geomatics surveyors measure and collect data on specific areas of land, including information about boundaries, buildings and features, both natural and man-made.
Geomatics is one of the most technologically advanced of the surveying specialist roles and has a key function in a diverse range of sectors, including: 
  • cartography
  • construction
  • geographical information systems
  • property
  • Offshore engineering and exploration.
  • Land/geomatics surveyors assess land due for redevelopment and survey a range of different areas, including airports, landfill sites, mines and quarries and pipeline and distribution systems.
The term 'geomatics' tends to be more commonly used than 'land surveying' in the industry. 

Responsibilities:
Tasks carried out by a land/geomatics surveyor vary depending on the area they are working in but can include:
  • making use of geographical information systems (GIS) to analyse and interpret site features;
  • producing detailed information (subsequently analysed by planners, builders and cartographers);
  • using a range of equipment to produce surveys, including GPS and conventional methods;
  • analysing information thoroughly before it is handed over to other professionals;
  • measuring the ground, including aspects such as small and large-scale distances, angles and elevations;
  • gathering data on the earth's physical and man-made features through surveys;
  • processing data;
  • undertaking digital mapping;
  • thinking creatively to resolve practical planning and development problems;
  • interpreting data using maps, charts and plans;
  • utilising data from a range of sources, such as aerial photography, satellite surveys and laser beam measuring systems;
  • using computer-aided design (CAD) and other IT software to interpret data and present information;
  • keeping up to date with new and emerging technology;
  • Providing advice to a variety of clients.
Surveyors who have chartered status are more likely to be involved in the managing and monitoring of projects from start to finish.
