User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's potential, efficient survey functions, and compatibility with Trimble hardware. However, frequent bugs, crashes, and difficulties with RTK corrections and base station setup significantly hinder usability. The subscription model restricts data export, causing frustration, especially since this limitation is not clearly communicated upfront. The app can be confusing for first-time GNSS users, leading to a steep learning curve and wasted time troubleshooting.

Pros

Has potential to be a great app if bugs are fixed
Works well with existing Trimble GNSS gear
Includes efficient surveying functions
Allows connection to existing base stations

Cons

Frequent bugs causing crashing and unstable performance
Difficulty connecting to correction sources and using RTK features
Subscription model blocks exporting or downloading collected data
Not user friendly, especially for first-time GNSS users
Poor support for setting up and managing base stations within the app

Recent reviews

I have been using Penmap for 2.5 years and have experienced countless bugs, issues, and lost time on the job and troubleshooting off site. Penmap has the potential to be a great app if Trimble is able to fix the issues. These frequent issues include location cursor rapidly bouncing around on the map, difficulty connecting to correction sources, "RTX start via satellite" failure error when connecting to Trimble Corrections Hub, inaccurate elevations off by several feet while RTK Fixed with TCH.

This review is for the 'freemium' version of Penmap. If you are hoping to use this without paying Trimble for the subscription - don't bother ... You can't download the data which you have collected without it. I wasted an hour out in the field collecting test data for validation before I found this out. It doesn't mention this fact anywhere before you start using it. This App, just like Trimble's MANY others is a signature Trimble product. Another subscription.
