July 2021

TerraFlex 5.4.0

All TerraFlex users must upgrade to TerraFlex 5.4.0 by 31 August

TerraFlex 5.4.0 includes important Trimble Identity security updates for customers. The latest Trimble Identity update provides multiple security and user experience features, including single sign-on (where signing in to one application signs you in to all of your Trimble applications), social sign-in with your existing Google or Apple account, and multi‑factor authentication using SMS or Google Authenticator. You can choose to enable multi‑factor authentication for your account from the Trimble Identity webpage.

Previous versions of TerraFlex use a Trimble Identity method which is no longer supported. Sign in using TerraFlex version 5.3.0 or earlier will not be possible after August 31, 2021.

For more information, refer to this Support Note: Trimble TerraFlex updated to support the new Trimble Identity system.

Improvements & fixes

• Additional local coordinate systems support for the UK and the Netherlands

  TerraFlex and the Trimble Connect Map Viewer now support the following additional local coordinate systems:

  • UK: Ordnance Survey

  • Netherlands: RD2018

  Data can be imported and exported in the same coordinate system as the workspace.

December 2020

TerraFlex 5.1.0

Improvements & fixes

• Added alerts to inform the user when they are in Trial mode, and when there is unsynchronized data on the mobile device.
• Android only: Fixed an issue where accuracy from Android Location Services was worse than expected on some devices.

November 2020

TerraFlex 5.0.0

New features

• Local coordinate systems support

  TerraFlex now allows you to configure your data collection project using a regional or national coordinate system. In addition, you can choose either geographic (latitude/longitude) or projected (northing/easting) coordinate storage and display. You can also select a geoid model for storing feature heights as orthometric (or mean-sea-level, MSL) instead of being limited to HAE. The selection of coordinate system and geoid is set at the TerraFlex project level and affects not only the storage of feature geometries but also coordinate display and navigation in the field.

  In the Trimble Connect Map Viewer, coordinate system selection is done as part of a new workspace creation wizard. The wizard guides you through the selection of the most appropriate coordinate system by first asking for the area-of-interest where you will be collecting data. The list of available coordinate systems is then filtered to only present the relevant choices (includes both geographic and projected coordinate systems).
