About this app

RTK GNSS, using the phone in your pocket...

Turn your phone into a centimeter-accurate positioning system, without the need for a bulky RTK GNSS receiver.

Professional quality. On demand convenience.

Catalyst provides you with scalable, accuracy-base pricing options ranging from 1 cm to 100 cm, and you can subscribe for as little as one month at a time.

Map, Navigate, or Measure anything

Trimble Catalyst can be shared to Android to override your phone’s on-board GPS receiver, so no matter your workflow your favourite apps can use high quality Catalyst GNSS positions, right out of the box.

Online. Offline. Worldwide

Wherever you work, online or offline, Trimble Catalyst’s bundled 'settings free' GNSS corrections service - known as the Trimble Corrections Hub - is available almost worldwide, via internet or satellite. In areas where Trimble Correction Services can't reach, you can configure and use your own local corrections source.

Precision results, simple workflows

Leave the complexity of traditional RTK GNSS behind you, and embrace the simplicity of plug-and-play GNSS for precision on-the-go.


Note:This app is for use with the Trimble Catalyst GNSS receiver, and requires a compatible Catalyst antenna. To use Trimble Catalyst you will need a Trimble Catalyst enabled app, or the Trimble Mobile Manager app on your phone.

To purchase a Trimble Catalyst antenna, contact your local Trimble Geospatial distributor. For help or further information about Trimble Catalyst, and to find your nearest stockist visit https://catalyst.trimble.com/

Update cure tonight for the Trimble Mobile Manager app that makes Catalyst work with the DA-1 ext antenna and third party apps ! Hopefully future Android changes will see improved communications with purchasers if problems result, until fixes are reached by developer. Apparently if the 'mock location' function of Android isn't cooperative, no third party apps were found to work (at least on a Pixel 4) during the week after Android 11 update when I tried using catalyst. Catalyst takes a minute or so to locate its satellites through a DA-1 usb antenna, for example and then reduces 12' error rates down to 4' or so 'differential' and then down as low as an inch or less, rtk, in clear spots in Florida, at least within two minutes or so. The hour blocks run non-stop and cannot be 'paused,' whether the app is stopped or everything shuts down. Initial setup for third party app use requires putting the phone into Developer mode and then altering settings like "mock location", etc. to work with most apps per instructions. ... The Manager kinda resembles a DOS app in a Windows era ? Kudos to Trimble for bringing great accuracy to consumers !

Hi Dan. Trimble Catalyst Service is a 'headless app', meaning it runs as a background service, without UI, and does not have an app icon that you can access from your Android device's home screen. Refer to our user documentation here for more information: https://help.trimblegeospatial.com/Catalyst/Home.htm
