Trimble Communities
Trimble has built a community forum site that lets users collaborate and share knowledge in a variety of different forums. The list covers many of the products surveyors use every day. A few examples are:
  • Trimble Access and Survey Field Solutions community
  • Mapping and GIS Solutions Community
  • Trimble Business Center
  • TBC Knowledge Center
  • Trimble Connect User Forum
The community is free to use, and all you need to join is a TID. Be sure to go to Trimble Community to check it out.

Trimble Mobile Manager version 2.9.5
TMM 2.9.5 removes the need for users to login with a Trimble ID when connecting to R-series receivers, Spectra receivers or the TDC150. Users of Catalyst based receivers (DA2, DA1) will need to continue to login in as before.
Please see the full writeup in the Mapping and GIS Solutions Community at Trimble MGIS Community.
Trimble Access 2021.21
Trimble Access 2021.21 was released in February. There were several enhancements as well as issues resolved. One of the enhancements was in the Coordinate System Database and added support for HTDP 3.4.0. With this enhancement, any templates stored will need to be updated. Among the resolved issues was a data storage issue where data could be lost if Access was not closed properly. For the full release notes, go to 2021.21 (trimblegeospatial.com).
