Frequently Asked Questions

Trimble Catalyst is a subscription service that allows you to generate and use centimetre-accurate GPS positions on your smartphone or tablet. As a Catalyst subscriber, you can choose to be automatically charged monthly on an unlimited use plan, or alternatively pre-pay for on-demand access on an hour-by-hour basis.

Trimble Catalyst uses GPS corrections to generate highly accurate GPS positions. Your subscription includes access to the Trimble Corrections Hub, which lets you use Trimble and Trimble partner correction services. Trimble Corrections Hub coverage is available in many parts of the world but is not yet available worldwide. Check the latest coverage here. If the Trimble Corrections Hub does not provide suitable coverage in your location, you will need to provide your own local correction service.

Trimble Catalyst monthly licenses are transferable between users and devices but may only be used on one device at a time. Catalyst on-demand licenses are non-transferrable, but on-demand pools can be shared by any number of users.

You can see your subscription and manage your payment details in My account section. You can manage your licences and assigned users for your subscription at the Trimble License Manager application.
