Trimble Penmap

Dear customer,

we found an issue in Penmap 11.9.x where position calculation is affected for a certain constellation. 
If you are using an R-series receiver (R2, R10, R12i, ...) which has RTX subscription enabled, combined with NTRIP correction source data coming from outside Trimble VRS Now,
the calculation of the position information could be wrong. The calculation may assume that the ITRF2014 datum is used instead of the local datum.
This could affect horizontal or vertical position and the amount of deviation depends on were you are on the globe.
If you have already collected position data with a receiver constellation like the one described above, please recheck against a know point.
If you see data that does not meet your expectation, please come back to us to decide how we can fix this.

The team has already identified the issue in Penmap and a new version is on the way and available as soon as possible. 

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks
Thomas
