Trying to view Trimble field data in ArcMap, it says invalid raster dataset. Tried changing the files into .shp and tried differential correction also. Still wont work, HELP!

I have Trimble field data that I transferred using GPS Pathfinder, it created .gis file but not a .dbf file. I even tried to do differential correction of the data, the files still won't show up on ArcMap. I have also tried converting the file on Trimble to shapefile. It still won't work. Please Help!! 1_jian‌

Hi,

I do this work flow quite regularly.

Firstly make sure you have transferred the data ok. it is a SSF file. You should be able to see it in Pathfinder Office

I then use the Export utility and configure it so it uses the SFF file and outputs as a ESRI gdb file which is what you should be using for ArcMap. I have had difficulty as Pathfinder dislikes complicated file names so I save it to my D drive and then copy the fields to where I want on the networks.

Seems to work a treat.
