AU Anonymous User Project Scientist Environmental Services ### "Standard, but showing its age" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 March 12, 2021 It's worked for me for the past 11 years since I started out in the field, and continues to work. Having worked with other software, particularly more GIS-based applications for mobile devices, it just seems clunky and like it's not advancing at the same rate. Pros This is the tried and true software for Trimble GPS units. It's easy enough to use, and lets me collect my data. Cons I really find the lack of interaction with background files annoying. If you want a background layer (roads, for example), but you want to be able to see any associated information, you have to put that background layer into a data file, match it with your data dictionary, etc..., then upload. If you're standing at your tailgate with a laptop and somebody has just emailed you a shape, you don't want to mess with that. You just want to load it and go.

Data transfers once back at the office are easy. Wifi ready but I've never used in the field. Cons The handheld device is clunky and moving software between machines is messy with licenses needing to be removed by the vendor before reactivating.

Scientist III Environmental Services ### "For environmental professionals, TerraSync is a great thing!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 14, 2018 Overall, I have been pleased with TerraSync and the services it provides. Anything that streamlines field work is greatly appreciated, and this software does just that. Pros TerraSync is great for the transfer of data between the GPS unit and your computer. The software makes going into the field easy - from quick upload of pre-selected sample locations to fast download of collected data points post-effort. Cons The software does seem to have a few quirks - I've had coordinate system units change from feet to meters on me a few times between upload and transfer to the GPS unit, which can be tricky when trying to fix real-time in the field.

Alaila L. Technological Advisor ### "Trimble equipment is very useful for gravimetric surveys, seismic and topographic studies." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 26, 2018 Pros The software that terraSync are essential tools for a field geolocation work, allowing the field operator to store all the data collected in a single computer that can later be downloaded to a computer in the easiest and most efficient way. They are high precision equipment for seismic surveys, georadar, topographic surveys, etc. Cons Trimble functional equipment perfectly in open areas free of vegetation which is a limitation for spaces with high density of vegetation, losing signal capture data.

In addition to its compatibility with GIS software, which allows to facilitate certain work processes Pros The program allows basic GPS data capture functions in any place, with good satellite coverage. Another aspect that I like is that it allows transferring the captured data to other formats such as dxf, shp among others, to process that data in other programs. Cons I do not like that it has a old fashioned user interface, and it is limiting in some options to do. I want to have more facilities to collect the data and make the necessary modifications, in the short time that I have in fieldwork Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
