TerraFlex version 5.11 is a single, streamlined solution that unites easy, intuitive field data capture with high-accuracy GNSS positioning. With TerraFlex, you can deploy streamlined and integrated field workflows that require minimal training and that adapt to any application or scenario.

New in this release is support for Trimble Maps. Background maps provide you with a better understanding of your surroundings and enable you to make more informed decisions about how you carry out your work in the field. The new satellite and street base maps provide more up-to-date map content and significantly improved satellite map resolution, as shown in the images below.

The background maps in TerraFlex version 5.10 and earlier will stop working in May 2024. It is important that all users update to version 5.11 or later before this date to ensure they maintain access to background maps in TerraFlex.

This release also adds support for the Trimble TDC6 data collector, a versatile handheld for all of your field data collection requirements. From simple data capture through to advanced workflows utilizing Trimble GNSS systems, the TDC6 handheld is powerful, flexible, and cost-effective.

In addition to the TerraFlex release, we have updated the Trimble Connect Map Viewer to add two new CAD export formats—DXF (with blocks) and DWG. These new formats enable you to take your field data captured with TerraFlex straight into your CAD design and drawing solutions. The CAD export options in Trimble Connect Map Viewer require a Trimble Terra™ Office Basic license.
