The Z-Maxâ„¢ surveying system from Thales Navigation is a precision GPS surveying solution designed for topography and construction. Offering superior RTK performance, an innovative design and a total software solution, Z-Max delivers survey-grade positioning on demand. Z-Max is capable of using VRS and FKP so that optimal results can be obtained in networks of reference stations.

Superior RTK Performance
Z-Max has a clear advantage over other GPS receivers with the integration of ADAPT-RTKâ„¢ technology. This breakthrough technology dramatically expands centimeter-accurate coverage by rapidly adapting to current conditions. With ADAPT-RTK, Z-Max ensures exceptional RTK coverage and data confidence.

Innovative Modular Design
Z-Max features a unique modular design, with interchangeable base and rover receivers, for quick and easy system optimization in the field. The versatile system offers options for power, portability, communications, data collection, downloading and post-processing.

Wireless Roving: Integrated Bluetoothâ„¢ advanced wireless system enables a convenient cable-free RTK rover module.

Long-Range Communication: Long-range modules simply snap into place, allowing you choose UHF, cellular or a uniquely combined UHF + GSM module.

Vortexâ„¢ UHF Antenna: Innovative UHF receiver technology eliminates all conventional radio antennas and cables.

On-Board Software: A full range of options is available, including control, stop and go, RTK setup and data collection – all without the need of an additional field controller.

Total Surveying Solution
The Z-Max system leverages the latest in surveying technology by integrating field and office software solutions focused on topographic and construction surveying. With this comprehensive suite of software tools, the Z-Max total surveying solution can enhance your surveying capabilities, boost your productivity, improve your data quality, and upgrade your deliverables. FAST Survey™ software is a powerful graphical field companion to Z-Max that enables feature coding, real-time line work, coordination of system setup, COGO ( Coordinate Geometry) and seamless connectivity to a variety of optical total stations – all available through a simple touch-screen menu. GNSS Studio™ software is the Z-Max GPS surveying office manager, intuitively guiding you through the entire GPS data collection process, from planning to professional quality deliverables.
