ANY INDUSTRY
GIS
Stop guessing your field work and start knowing. The SOM GO turns your data collecting device into a survey grade machine.
MINING
From mineral exploration to mine remediation. From project planning, mine operations, transportation management to risk analysis. Centimeter accurate data combined with the right software supports decision-making throughout the entire mining life cycle.
ARCHITECTURE
The SOM GO can help you design with a geographic context, develop your own site plan and update field inventory and do maintenance updates. Model everything everywhere with pinpoint accurate data on photo positions.
FORESTRY
Maximize the value of timber assets, reduce costs, and improve forest management with solutions for data collection, map analytics, and remote sensing. Accurately measure your areas and eliminate timber count errors. It all starts with centimeter accuracy.
SURVEYING
Do accurate spot checks and be sure of the field results. Measure points on the go and eliminate the lengthy process of instrumentation setup.
MILITARY
Get the upper hand. Gain new knowledge of patterns and movements in the field. SOM GO will allow you to track movements and have the ability to send tracking precise position back to base. Process sub centimeter data in locations where it was normally not possible.
MUNICIPALITY
Get the most out of location technology investment by exploiting a combination of IOT technologies and the SOM GO. Create a safer, healthier and more sustainable community by knowing where to make the right investments at the right time. Keep track of municipal inventories and their attributes. With centimeter precision you will now be able to keep track, map out and revisit your inventory.
AGRICULTURE
Your first step to precision agriculture. Exact locations can help you pin point problem areas. Monitor the health of individual crops in your field.
CONSTRUCTION
With the SOM GO's precise positioning you can develop your own site plan, review as built plans and effectively monitor the progress of your construction site.
ECOLOGY
Devises normally used in ecology can only accurately record data points up to 5m. Within densely vegetated areas this can be problematic. The SOM Go can accurately record species of conservation concern, delineate watercourses and record other biodiversity features within centimeter accuracy.
RENEWABLES
Use spatial analysis to improve energy production, transmission, and delivery. With the SOM GO you can set out cable lines, boundary points, plan your site, check positions and points exactly and make sure you are getting optimal efficiency out of your site.
ENGINEERING
With centimeter precision you can develop your own site plan, review as built plans, create accurate 3D models and even check positions of structures to maximize your on field accuracy and efficiency.
ANY DEVICE, ANY THIRD PARTY APP
From phones to tablets, iOS to android. Using NMEA 0183 as position output the SOM GO is compatible with them all.

SOM GO Case Study - Accuracy Test
Wondering how the SOM GO’s accuracy compares with a GNSS RTK multi-band receiver? We did a field case study to answer exactly that.
Reach RS2 For Baseline
In a local park we set out 5 points using steel nails. We used the Reach RS2 RTK receiver to establish our baseline control points.
SOM GO with GPS Pole
We staked out the same 5 points using the SOM GO combined with a custom 5/8" thread adapter on a standard GPS pole.
Average deviation to the baseline control points were only 0.89 cm
SOM GO Device Only
We staked out the same 5 points using the SOM GO device only relying on our hands and eye sight for good placement over the nails.
Average deviation to the baseline control points were only 2.20 cm
Device Internal GPS
Lastly we measured the same 5 points using an android phone with it's internal GPS.
Average deviation to the baseline control points were full 2.87m
Results
With the SOM GO on a GPS pole coming in at under 1cm difference and the SOM GO device only at 2cm difference comparing to the RS2, it is safe to say that the SOM GO provides precise, centimeter accuracy.
