What's the difference and is it worth the $1000 difference in price?
Trimble's website is, of course, less than stellar as always.
I know that advanced gives you the ability to do static post processing where TBC regular is just for RTK. So it really depends if you do static work. Call your local rep. They have way more info than the website does!

TBC Standard will only process L1 GPS (and so far it hasn't been able to process any of the DAT files from my Trimble L1 4600LS receivers, so even that functionality may be severely limited). It is $500.
TBC Advanced will process multi-frequency GNSS data according to their description of it.
Well, that solves that question, I think...
We need it for static work. If it was just RTK we'd keep using TGO only.
Unless there is something I'm missing...
Kent, did you find out if that $1000 price tag held? Or was is just an upgrade price from Regular to Advanced?

As I understood the Trimble dealer, the special price was to upgrade from a TGO license to TBC Advanced. I didn't qualify and in any event TBC Advanced apparently has a bug that prevents it from handling some stop-and-go DAT files that GPSurvey processed perfectly.
For static work just download GNSS off the internet, it's free and pretty simple.
And where would that be? When I do a Google on "GNSS" I get a lot of other stuff.
