Working in the Map

Tap Map at the bottom of the screen to work in the Map.

Filtering data

When you are working from the Map screen, you can filter what forms / data layers are visible.

Tap then select / deselect the options as required. You can filter forms by status ( To Update, Updated, Collected, Draft), and choose which data layers (forms) are visible.

To quickly select all statuses or layers, tap Select all.

To quickly deselect all statuses or layers, tap Deselect all.

To return to the Map showing your filtered results, tap Displaying x result(s).

Enabling reference layers

To view existing assets or boundaries which provide context for field work, you can add reference layers to the Map.

To enable reference layers:

  1. On the Map screen, tap, then tap Map layers.

  2. Toggle on Enable reference layers.

  3. Sync your project to download all the layers in Map workspace that do not have a form template associated with them.

    1. Tap to return to the Map.

    2. Tap / Check for Project updates.

      A syncing notification is displayed on the Home screen as forms are synced to the cloud, followed by a notification that reference layers are being dowloaded.

The reference layers are stored on your device so they are still available if you have no internet connection in the field, and are visible on the Map.

You can change the visibility of individual reference layers:

  1. On the Map screen, tap, then tap Map layers.

  2. In the list of Reference layers, select or deslect the layers that you want to see on the Map. To quickly select all layers, tap Select all; to quickly deselect all layers, tap Deselect all.

Working with Trimble maps

If you are working online you have the option to change your basemap to a Trimble-provided map. Trimble Map options are Street, Street (Light), Street (Dark), Terrain, and Satellite.

Working with a basemap

If you are working in a remote environment and are not able to connect to the internet, you can use a cached version of a map that has been created in Map Viewer.

To work with a cached map in TerraFlex:

  1. On the Map screen, tap, then tap Map layers.

  2. Tap Offline base maps. Any map caches are listed.

    Select the cached map you want to use, or tap Select all to quickly select all base maps, or Deselect all to quickly deselect all selected base maps.

  3. Tap to return to the Map.
