Minimum hardware recommendations: A full list of System Requirements is available on the Trimble Penmap for Android User Assistance portal.

An effective tool for your field kit

  • Provides core survey functionality including cadastral and boundary surveys, stake-outs, QA/QC checks, and records and stores all measurement data.
  • Syncs with Trimble Connect, a collaborative cloud platform, for easy upload and transfer of data between office and field and back.
  • Includes a powerful Feature and Attribute system that is fully compatible with industry standard surveying/CAD, GIS, and data management applications.
  • Supports survey tasks and high-accuracy GIS data collection within the same application.

Trimble technology at your fingertips

  • Runs on Android devices such as your own smartphone and tablet, or a fully rugged device like the Android-based Trimble TDC600 handheld.
  • Supports the subscription-based Trimble Catalyst™ software GNSS receiver, providing very low initial cost of ownership and flexible plans for a complete surveying/GIS system.
  • Compatible with full-featured Trimble GNSS receivers such as the R12i, R12 and R2.
If your Android device uses the new USB Type C form factor, you will need a third-party USB microB to USB type C converter to use Catalyst. To fully support Catalyst your USB converter cable supports the USB OTG standard. Trimble recommends the Huawei AP52.
