Creating my own basemap layers for Terraflex

  • 1.  Creating my own basemap layers for Terraflex

    Posted 06-08-2022 18:40
    Hello!

    I am a little frustrated and hope I can get some help here. I am using a Trimble TDC600 with Terraflex, and I am needing an offline base map to use to help me navigate to the points I created and uploaded. I have the road files of the area I am surveying (DoD property), but they do not show up on the map unless I create a form/To-Do of this layer; even then it does not load properly on the map. Is there ANY way I can create my OWN offline base map layers? Also, why isn't there a satellite and road base map option?

    Thank you for your help!

    Yes we have the same setup and need - 3 x Trimble TDC600's with Terraflex - have had limited success in getting background layers to display, and would also benefit greatly from our own offline base map layers

    Thanks

    Have there been any updates on how to create our own offline basemaps? Not only the satellite and road base option?

    Yes! I asked this question in two places, and the answer and directions are here: https://community.trimble.com/discussion/creating-my-own-basemap-layers-for-terraflex

    The answer came to me at the end of my project, but I was able to test it out, and it worked! Best of luck!

    Thank you
    I did this as well and it works but I am trying to figure out if we can create offline backgrounds/basemaps in raster formats such as tiff or jpeg files. I have different imagery I'd like to use instead of the default satellite/street view.
