Version 2025.10
New or updated topics
Trimble Access 2025.10 is here

Trimble Access 2025.10 features enhanced Auto Resection functionality, allowing for much faster station setup. You can now configure Measure codes to create polylines instead of feature coded linework and you can now easily insert or remove points from polylines. Other improvements include staking stations relative to a selected start station, and exporting linework to Shapefiles.
Trimble Access Roads now supports staking to the nearest string when staking from strings and surfaces.
This release also provides display and workflow improvements for setting out in Trimble Access Tunnels and improvements to Trimble Access Mobile Inspector.
