Trimble GPS Pathfinder Office

A seamless workflow between the GIS and the field

Sophisticated data dictionary editor ensures consistency between the field and the office

• Create custom lists of features and attributes for field data collection with the Data Dictionary Editor, or import a data dictionary from a GIS based on its exact data schema.
• Receive prompts in the field to enter specific information into data capture forms, ensuring data integrity and compatibility with the GIS.
• Create conditional attributes that dynamically adapt to previously entered attribute values, for maximum data collection efficiency.

Differential corrections to improve the quality of GNSS data collected in the field

• Use postprocessing to significantly improve the accuracy of data collected in the field all the way down to centimeter level (1 cm / 0.4 inch).¹
• Supports the complete Trimble Mapping and GIS GNSS portfolio, as well as associated positioning technologies, such as Trimble H-Star™.

¹ Depending on the environment and the GNSS receiver.

Quality control your collected field data

• Analyze collected features to confirm they are complete and accurate before exporting to a GIS, CAD, or database system. Review and edit GNSS positions and attributes for the highest quality data.
• Collected features can be compared against background datasets such as vector GIS data, aerial photographs or satellite imagery in order to verify accuracy and detect conflicts.
• Background data can be imported to GPS Pathfinder Office from GIS systems, directly from imagery files, or referenced directly from a WMS.

Import and export data to a variety of GIS and CAD formats

• Verify and update GIS data previously collected in the field.
• Import data to GPS Pathfinder Office from a number of GIS and database formats.
• Export collected data and associated metadata to a number of GIS and CAD formats.
• Additional import and export formats supported via Trimble SSF and DDF data format extensions for FME.

Customize TerraSync user interface for simplified field operation

• Use TerraSync™ Studio utility within GPS Pathfinder Office to customize the TerraSync user interface.
• Disable functionality to ensure maximum field productivity and eliminate potential configuration errors.
• View data forms clearly with a customized user interface that speeds up form completion without sacrificing accuracy.

Latest Releases

v5.90

• Fixed an issue which could cause image linking in KML export to be incorrect.
• Fixed an issue related to decimal places in File Geodatabase exports.
• The Export setting summary file now has a .txt file extension instead of .inf.
• The Numeric Default Value Required option in the Data Dictionary Editor is now disabled by default.

v5.85

• Improvements to how code post-processed estimated accuracies are calculated for the Trimble Geo 7X handheld. This generally means lower accuracy estimates which more closely match the actual error of the postprocessed positions.
• GPS Pathfinder Office now supports world files (.wld) with comma separated decimals

v5.81

• The installer now includes the Microsoft® Visual C++ redistributable as a pre-requisite. This redistributable ensures that the postprocessor corrects positions.
• The postprocessor calculates correct DOP values for files collected with the Trimble Juno® series, Trimble Nomad® series, and Trimble Yuma® tablet computer receivers.
• An issue which caused image links to be formatted incorrectly when exporting to MicroStation DGN has been fixed.

v5.80

• Support for the Trimble R2 GNSS receiver.
• Support for the Trimble Nomad® 1050 series.
• Updated postprocessing engine.
• Leap second adjustment.
• Improved KML import for reference data. You can bring in and display some of the feature label information from the KML file.
• Updated Export Utility.
