| − | The Trimble device lets you use GPS to record features in the field. TerraSync is the program on the device that is used for recording and managing GPS'd data. Pathfinder is the program on a desktop computer that is used in tandem with the device.

| |
| − | *It collects multiple measurements for each point feature(which requires standing still and waiting a bit) and averages/processes them to get better accuracy than a single reading would achieve.
| |
| − | *It lets you record line and polygon features by moving along the line/perimeter. It logs the vertices automatically based on either distance moved or time elapsed since the last point.
| |
| − | *Post-processing using known GPS base stations can be done to further improve accuracy
| |
| − | *It allows you to define different feature types with different attributes and you can fill them in, rather than just recording the spots and entering them into a feature later.

| − | The TerraSync software is organized under 5 different groups:
| |
| − | *[[Trimble_Map|Map]]
| |
| − | *[[Trimble_Data|Data]]
| |
| − | *[[Trimble_Navigation|Navigation]]
| |
| − | *[[Trimble_Status|Status]]
| |
| − | *[[Trimble_Setup|Setup]]
| |
| − | 99% of the time you will be using either Map or Data
| |
| − | ==Using TerraSync==
| |
| − | *[[Trimble_Create_Dictionary|Create a dictionary]] that defines features you want to capture. Dictionaries are the schemas for data files
| |
| − | *[[Trimble_Create_Data_File|Create a data file]] for storing the features you capture.
| |
| − | *[[Trimble_Capturing_Data|Capture data]]
| |
| − | *[[Trimble_View_Data|View captured data]]
| |
| − | *[[Trimble_Move_Data_to_PC|Move the data to a PC]] for storage and further use/analysis.
