I would just like to also emphasize how helpful it would be to be able to change logging intervals for line features. As a recent convert to TerraFlex from Sync, I am puzzled as to why this feature is not customizable in Flex (as well as distance logging). A vast majority of my data collection is conducted in the woods where I am on foot and constantly negotiating obstacles, uneven terrain, and re-orienting my direction. Doing this at 1 second intervals creates an extraordinary number of excessive vertices that I have to edit out during post-processing. I was a huge proponent to have TerraFlex included in my organizations BPA with Trimble and move away from the sunsetting TerraSync, and now that I have it up and running, I am noticing simple features that were available in Sync but did not carry over to Flex (date/time and coordinate stamps on photos is another). I am no programmer, but these features seem like they would be simple inclusions which would make for a better end user experience.
Please consider and thank you for your time.

Hi Ashley
You've not mentioned what software and GNSS equipment you have or your location so I can only respond in general terms
- For Trimble Terraflex we already support local Coordinate systems for a number countries across the globe and we will continue to expand this and support more countries/systems this year.
- Your local Trimble reseller will be able to tell you if the system you require is supported If you get in touch with them.
- For Trimble Penmap all coordinate systems in the current Trimble Geodetic library are supported
With regards to line intervals
- Trimble Terraflex - this is not configurable currently and is fixed to 1 position every second for line features If you are operating in dynamic mode (i.e. start a line feature > walk the line feature > finish the line feature)
- Trimble Penmap - this is configurable via time interval or distance
For full details on the field applications above take a look at the respective sections of the Trimble Geospatial online help portal

I have a couple questions,
1- When we purchased our TDC600 in late Summer 2020, we were told that more coordinate systems were coming. Is there any update on this? We use a county coordinate system with all other equipment, and it would be nice to have everything on one system.
2- Is there any way to change the timing of the recording intervals for a line? For example, changing it to one point every 30 seconds, or one point to every 10 seconds?
3- If there is no way to change the timing of intervals, has anyone used the TDC to map roads? We have a new highway interchange that needs to be mapped out, and were hoping to use our TDC instead of our Carlsons.
Thanks!
Ashley
