## Description

The **Trimble DL** application is a powerful Android tool designed for raw GNSS data logging using current Trimble GNSS receivers that support Bluetooth communication. It facilitates Fast-Static and Static GNSS surveying styles, making it easy to collect and manage survey data directly from your Android phone or tablet.

Users can input station and antenna details, view all logged raw data files stored on the receiver, and conveniently email those files to their office from the field. The app supports a wide range of Trimble GNSS receivers, including popular models like the R780, R12, R10, R8s, and others. Features include satellite visibility skyplots, efficient data file management, and a user-friendly interface tailored for seamless fieldwork operations.

## Review summary

Users find Trimble DL useful for static data collection and appreciate its ability to run without a data collector. However, multiple reviews highlight connectivity problems with various receivers via Bluetooth, frequent app freezing, and challenges in importing or emailing larger files. Some receivers, especially older SPS models, are unsupported or problematic. Users often need to restart the app or reinstall it to regain functionality. Despite these issues, it's considered a valuable tool for surveyors needing mobile data collection solutions.

### Pros

- Supports static and fast static data collection without the need for a data collector.
- Works well with certain Trimble receivers such as R2 and R6 (with some issues).
- Useful tool for surveyors, facilitating data collection and management.
- Allows starting static sessions directly from the app, a feature previously missing in Trimble products.

### Cons

- Bluetooth connectivity issues with several receivers (R980, R8, SPS series), causing app freezes or inability to connect.
- Problems importing and sending large data files via email, often requiring restarting the process or failing outright.
- App sometimes requires reinstallation to reconnect to receivers after a few hours of use.
- Lack of support or difficulties with some receiver models leading to user frustration.
