Trimble FastMap DataFlow Software

Trimble® FastMap™ DataFlow software manages all aspects of the transfer of GIS/mapping data between the office and the field. A product designed from the ground up with one aim in mind–to make data transfer between the field device and the office as seamless and efficient as possible.

The Trimble FastMap DataFlow cycle has been optimized so that even users with little or no GIS experience will have no problems designing attribute definition files, transmitting those definitions to field devices, and exporting any data received from the field, out into GIS, or standard Microsoft® Office files such Excel and Access®.

Advanced data capture functionality is also supported, with routines such as photo synching that allows any standard digital camera to be used as a professional GIS tool—with automated synchronization of photos with GPS data collected in the field.

Key features:

• Simple user interface with customizable favorites toolbar
• All major GIS systems supported
• Integrated attribute editor for customised data collection
• One click data transfer to Trimble FastMap Mobile software
• Photo syncing using standard photos
• Simple Ordnance Survey map conversion–no database/administrator required
