We've tried getting the unit to connect to the GPS signals, however we never have a fix. After doing a little more research, I'm seeing that we may need to also purchase GPScorrect. Is that a correct assessment?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 Oct 2010 20:15:05 GMT ZachStaff 2010-10-12T20:15:05Z Trimble Ranger &amp; GPScorrect https://community.esri.com/t5/arcpad-questions/trimble-ranger-amp-amp-gpscorrect/m-p/613863#M4473 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>We just bought ArcPad for our Trimble Ranger handheld GPS unit.

The Ranger, does not have integrated GPS built-in the unit, so an external device would be needed. What receiver are you using? Is it a serial port or bluetooth port connection?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 14 Oct 2010 14:21:24 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcpad-questions/trimble-ranger-amp-amp-gpscorrect/m-p/613865#M4475 BrettBlack1 2010-10-14T14:21:24Z
