Gps Pathfinder Office Key
Version 5.20 of the software is now available. Key updates include:. Updates to the Data Dictionary Editor, improving the display of the features list, the use of graphical picklists, importing from and exporting to ASCII data dictionaries, and importing from Microsoft® Access® databases.
It is now possible to print out and export to ASCII data dictionaries for and later. Print Preview is also supported.
ASCII import has been enhanced with the ability to type or paste menu options into a form, which significantly speeds up creation of menus with many options, in particular when importing menus from a database. ASCII import now correctly handles the character length of values depending on the version of the data dictionary. Values are no longer truncated to 20 characters in data dictionaries for TerraSync software version 5.00 and later. Importing of data dictionaries from MDB (Microsoft Access) files now correctly handles the number of menu items and their length. Updates to TerraSync Studio, and to the Configuration Manager to support the new version of the TerraSync software, including the new Trimble QuickPoint™ data collection mode.
Support for Web Map Service (WMS) 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 making it possible to use a wider selection of map providers. New options in the Data menu making feature editing faster and simpler.
The ability to select/deselect all backgrounds in the Load Background Files window.
I don't have Pathfinder on my computer. I need to pull data off of my Trimble unit (Geoexplorer 6000 series) and save it on an external hard drive or USB key, without using Pathfinder. This way, I can send the storage device to a colleague in another location who has Pathdfinder and can import it properly and convert it to a shapefile for me.
Is this possible? I've tried to copy and past raw data from the unit to my computer and have been met with an error. Sending the GPS unit back and forth to import data from it is quite expensive and I'm trying to avoid this.
You don't actually need the full Pathfinder Office suite to get your data off the handheld and onto a PC, all you need is the. It's a free download.
The same utility is included in the full Pathfinder Office suite, but Trimble makes the data transfer utility freely available since (as you know) the people using GPS in the field, collecting the data, are often very geographically separated from the people processing and using the data. Ideally, everyone in your organization who uses a Trimble in the field would have the Data Transfer Utility installed. If you don't have the rights to install software on your computer, Kevin's answer will work too, it's just a more error-prone procedure because you're selecting and copying a lot of files manually. If you download Pathfinder you can install it without a key and use it just to transfer the data off the device. All the other tools are disabled but you can at least get the data you need.
If that's not an option you can pull the files manually but you'll need Pathfinder eventually to recombine them into SSF files that you can export/use elsewhere. When you open a new rover file in TerraSync on the GPS make sure you set the save location to the SD Card, NOT Main Memory. If the deed is already done and the data is already on the unit you'll have to connect to the unit and go looking for the files, I haven't had great luck with this approach.

Then, go about collecting your data as you normally would. When you want to transfer the data off the unit take the SD card out of the unit and connect it to the computer using a card-reader or something like that. There should be a whole bunch of files in the SD drive, those are the files that TerraSync combines and downloads as an SSF file when you use Pathfinder, so, just grab them and move them onto your computer.
You can then put those files on the USB key, an email, whatever, and send them off to your colleague.
