Getting started
1. To turn on the device, press the power button on

TerraSync Sections
In the upper left corner, there is a drop-down menu, currently saying, Status. This
menu contains the different sections of TerraSync, and are described in detail below.
2. Make sure the lower drop down menu has New selected.
3. You will now be on a page titled Create New Data File.
4. Leave the file type and location as it is.
5. You can rename the file or leave it as the default.
6. Choose a data dictionary that was designed for the data
collection, or leave it as generic.
7. When complete, click the create button in the upper right
corner.
8. On the Confirm Antenna Height page, leave the default
settings and click OK.
There are three different types of data that can be collected- a point, line, or area.
1. If you are working with a data dictionary, select the feature name that you want to collect
data for and click create (as shown below on the left).
2. If you are working with a generic data dictionary, click the type of data you want to collect
(as shown below on the right).
Point collection
1. You will see a red bullseye appear at the top right of the
screen. This shows how many points have been collected.
2. There is also an icon with two arrows to the left of the
bullseye that shows the amount of accuracy the device is
getting.
3. Stand still with the device until youve collected at least 30
positions.
4. The more positions that are collected, the more accurate
the point you are mapping will be.
5. Enter comments or attributes that are associated with the
point.
6. When you are finished with the collection, press the OK
button.
Line collection
1. You will see an icon in the top right corner that looks like a
pen with a number next to it. This number shows how
many positions have been logged so far.
2. Walk along the line that you want to map.
3. Enter comments or attributes that are associated with that
line.
4. When you are finished, press the OK button.
Area collection
1. For area collection, walk along the area that you want to
map. This will create a polygon feature.
2. Enter comments or attributes that are associated with that area.
3. When you are finished, press the OK button.
Taking Pictures
If the data dictionary is designed to be able to take pictures
as an attribute, follow the following steps:
1. Collect the sample point, line, or polygon first.
2. When finished, press the Pause button.
3. Click the camera button next to the attribute drop down
menu.
4. This will bring you to a camera screen.
5. To zoom, use the button on the upper right of the device.
6. To take a picture, press the button on the lower right of
the device.
7. When the picture is taken, the file should appear in the
drop down menu along with an image below it.
8. When finished, press the OK button.
Downloading Data
The data will need to be downloaded from the GPS in order to be used in GIS. The computer
used to download the data must have the Trimble software, which is only found on the computers
in the GIS lab.
1. Connect the device to a computer in the GIS lab with the USB cable. The mini USB socket
can be found at the bottom of the Juno.
2. Once connected, the Windows Mobile Device Center should open on the computer.
3. Always pick the option to connect without setting up the device. NEVER set up the
device.
4. Go to the start menu and search under all programs for the
Trimble folder. In the GPS Pathfinder Office folder open
the GPS Pathfinder Office program.
5. GPS Pathfinder Office will open with a window to select
project.
6. You can leave the default project name, create a new one, or navigate to an old project name.
7. When finished, select OK.
