Introduction to Penmap for Windows

Trimble Penmap is premium data collection software, designed specifically for surveyors, cadastral surveying, mapping, land registration tasks and GIS professionals.

As a tool for pen-based, graphical and feature data collection, Trimble Penmap allows field workers to check and finish their survey job in the field, eliminating mistakes and costly rework.

Trimble Penmap provides easy to use field client software specifically designed to run on a Windows device.

Using Trimble Penmap, data that was previously collected using text-only loggers and then plotted back at the office may now be viewed onscreen instantly. Viewing data as collected” is only part of the advantages of Trimble Penmap:

• Take existing data set out to site in a digital format. Edit the existing data and add new data as needed, greatly reducing errors, time spent, and the need to revisit sites.

  This combination of data collection and handling produces a field editing system more powerful than any individual Surveying, CAD, or GIS System, and of unparalleled multiple functionality.

• Use the large map display to collect features as graphical objects and add GIS records to the feature.

  Trimble Penmap provides a range of survey methods to create nodes for features, including GNSS positioning, optical positioning, and COGO calculations such as bilateration and chain & offset. You can also create a range of construction nodes, from which to create other nodes. Alternatively, key in coordinates or add them by tapping the map. Use as many different methods as required to add all of the nodes you need to any feature.

• Use the Trimble Connect cloud-based collaboration platform to download projects sent from the office and to upload data collected in the field.
