MGIS - Terrasync 5.10 now available

Trimble Terrasync has been updated with version 5.10. This addresses minor issues and updates that should be implemented only on the GeoExplorer 6000 series. Please download the latest version here. For questions updating or determining your software eligibility, contact me at andy at monsenengineering dot com.

Version 5.10 of the TerraSync software includes the following new features and changes:
• Support for the GeoExplorer® 6000 series handheld.
Note – The TerraSync software version 5.10 installs and runs only on a GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld.
• The use of Smart Settings, to increase the precision of your data, and to minimize the effect of atmospheric interference and poor satellite geometry. Using Smart Settings, the receiver uses all available GNSS information to determine which combination of satellites to use to generate the best possible position for any given environment, without the need for you to adjust receiver settings to match the conditions.
The GPS Slider has been removed. Custom settings can still be configured if Smart Settings are not used.
• The ability to select whether base station data used for postprocessing is GPS
only, or GPS and GLONASS.
• The removal of the Use GLONASS option from the GNSS Settings form. The receiver will always log GLONASS data, if the Trimble Floodlight™ satellite shadow reduction technology option is enabled and active on the receiver (see the GeoExplorer 6000 series User Guide for more information.)
• The Plan view now shows GLONASS satellites as well as GPS satellites.
• The L2 SNR reported will be the L2C SNR if it is available, otherwise it will be the L2E SNR.
• The Velocity Filter settings have been removed. Data logged using TerraSync software version 5.10 can only be downloaded and postprocessed using GPS Pathfinder Office software version 5.10 or the GPS Analyst™ extension for Esri ArcGIS Desktop software version 2.40.
