Getting Connected 6
6. If you selected Manual in the Connection Control field, tap the Ext Source
button that appears below the Status bar in the Setup section to connect the
Trimble GNSS field software to the Internet correction source.
B

Downloading background map files from an Internet map server
1. Make sure that the coordinate system selected in the TerraSync software
matches the coordinate system of the map server.
2. In the Map section of the TerraSync software,
pan or zoom to make sure that the
area for which you want a background image is displayed on the map.
If the map server covers the area you are in, it will provide a background image
that matches the current map extents.
3. Tap
Layers and then select Background files. The
Background Files form appears.
4. In the Location field select Internet and then use
the fields that appear to specify the Map Server
type, the URL of the server, the service, and the
layers from that service that you want to
download.
5. Tap
Done to close the Background File form and
download the selected background map.
This may take some time. When a download is in
progress, an icon appears in the top left corner
of the map. Once the background file is
downloaded, the hourglass icon appears until the
downloaded image is rendered and becomes
visible.
If you pan or zoom beyond the extents of the downloaded image, new images are
downloaded automatically and displayed in the background of the map.
To stop automatic downloading of background files, either clear the address of the
map server from the URL field, or set the Location field to Default and then clear the
check box next to any files.
Reconnecting to the Internet
To reconnect to the Internet at any time after setting up the connection, repeat the
steps listed under Step 2: Connecting to the Internet using the dialup network on
page 96.
If you selected Auto in the Connection Control field of the Trimble GNSS field software,
the software automatically connects to the Internet source that is providing real-time
differential corrections.
