The Trimble TDC100 runs the Android OS, so it’s important that before you begin, make sure to get the Geode Connect App from the Play Store.   This app allows you to configure the settings inside the Geode.  Here are the recommended settings:

1. Turn on the Juniper Systems Geode
2. On the TDC100, tap the Menu icon, then Preferences
3.  Select the units and position format per your preference
4.  Check Enable Mock Location Provider
   •  This feature allows the TDC100 to use an external GNSS receiver rather than the internal one.

   • Tap the Save icon in the lower right corner
