I just want to warn anyone using TBC and auto-importing CORS Stations to check and double check the coordinates of the CORS. I only use TBC rarely and the CORS import on even rarer occasions. I have noticed that the imported global coordinates of the CORS do not match the datasheets, but if I add a coordinate, it will correctly define the grid coordinate automatically. I then set the grid coordinate as control and all is good. Maybe I just do not use it enough to know what I am doing wrong, made a 2 foot difference in coordinate values. Strange.

Sounds like you need to update TBC. This is a known problem and Trinble finally fixed it in the latest update. They never publiclly acknowledged there was a problem even after repeated calls by myself and others to at least let people know so they wouldn't be caught unawares like you did. I posted a warning about this problem awhile back here on Beerleg.

Thanks John, I had updated but the last update caused some crashes so I reinstalled the last version. I will get around to a clean update when I get the chance.
