GPS User Fees

The University of Wyoming is responsible for all maintenance costs associated with the equipment on loan from Trimble Navigation, Ltd. Therefore, it is necessary to charge a "user fee" on all GPS hardware and software used by University personnel. The money generated from user fees will go towards hardware/software/firmware maintenance and continued technical support service with Trimble. The money generated from the user fee will also help replace used batteries for the GPS equipment!

If a student is collecting GPS data for an un- or under-funded project, they will be able to use a GPS unit for two weeks free of charge. In order to receive the two free weeks, the student must fill out a form that is signed by their advisor. Following those two weeks, user fees will be the same as listed below.

The student form is available in the WyGISC main office.

GPS Equipment	Daily	Weekly	Monthly
Pathfinder ProXRS Receiver	$40* $60	$160* $240	$480* $720
