For those of you familiar with Asset Surveyor™, a data capture software designed to run on Trimble's TSC-1 datalogger, TerraSync is similar in many respects. It has the advantage of a Windows GUI (graphical user interface) and the ability to load a variety of background maps behind your GPS data. The full color screen greatly enhances your ability to see detail and spatial relationships. This is a two or three day Trimble Certified class. It is offered on-site at your facility or the location of your choice. Students get a chance to twice perform every phase of a typical project. This class provides students the opportunity to acquire the skills to manage data capture operations and successfully provide high quality data to populate a GIS. The following is an outline for the three day class: DAY ONE:
