GeCo in the Rockies

The document summarizes key points about Trimble TerraSync and GPS Pathfinder Office software. It discusses how GNSS data is logged in WGS84 in TerraSync, how to add imagery and shapefiles as backgrounds, and how to open and update shapefiles between TerraSync and Pathfinder Office. It also addresses performing differential corrections, exporting to AutoCAD, and using real-time corrections like RTK, VRS, and RTVRN.
