GPS Pathfinder Office

Powerful and easy to use GNSS data processing software

Trimble® GPS Pathfinder® Office software is a powerful and easy-to-use software package of GNSS postprocessing tools, designed to develop GIS information that is consistent, reliable, and accurate from GNSS data collected in the field.

A seamless workflow between the GIS and the field

Sophisticated data dictionary editor to ensure 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. Be confident data collected in the field will integrate seamlessly with the GIS.
• In the field, the data capture forms prompt you to enter specific information 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 

• Import data to GPS Pathfinder Office from a number of GIS and database formats.
• Verify and update previously collected GIS data in the field.
• 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.
• A customized user interface enables you to view data forms clearly, avoid confusion and speed up form completion without sacrificing accuracy.
