<span style="font-size: 16px;">  
</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">**Cause:**</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">Using a custom Print to PDF tool. For example, Foxit PDF Printer.</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">  
</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">**Solutions:**</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">Use the built in “Microsoft Print to PDF” printer. This one is free and provided with Windows.</span>

# Export to *.gps control file does not load/display properly

<span style="font-size: 16px;">**![](https://docs.t3rra.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-03/scaled-1680-/b8rgjjbgzlcz206q8ezhrb-1nmhjcjddsq-png.png)Symptoms:**</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">When the .gps file is loaded into the display, the map is in the wrong place, part of it is missing, and/or the scale is wrong. For example, note the linework to surface mismatch on the right.</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">  
</span>

<span dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px;">**Cause:**</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">Trimble FMX and TMX displays can only display a certain size file. \*.gps files larger than 1MB or with too many pixels will not load correctly in FMX displays due to memory limitations.</span>

<span dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px;">  
</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">Export again with a smaller file size. This can be done during export by simplifying to a larger pixel size. When selecting FMX, the limitations are more clearly shown, and you can resize to a larger pixel size in the export dialog:</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">You can also export a smaller size without increasing pixel size if you split the field into subsections. It may help to still have some overlap.</span>

# View in Google Earth, does not open

<span style="font-size: 16px;">**![](https://docs.t3rra.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-03/scaled-1680-/k3qcscc69k7wv9w4z-oxarkvkmljnag7sa-png.png)Symptoms:**</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">Clicking the Show in Google Earth button doesn’t work.</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">Opening Google Earth doesn’t work either.</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">  
</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">**Cause:**</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">Google Earth has stalled and is not responding.</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">  
</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">**Solutions:**</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">Restart your computer.</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">To avoid having to restart your computer, open Task Manager by right-clicking a blank part of the taskbar (usually at the bottom of the screen) and selecting Task Manager.</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">Then, under the Processes tab, right-click on Google Earth and choose End task. Then Google Earth should start up successfully the next time you try.</span>

# Export to *.gps control file is too far from benchmark

**<span style="font-size: 16px;">Symptoms:</span>**

<span style="font-size: 16px;">When the .gps file is loaded into the display, the system complains that the field is too far from the benchmark.</span>

**<span style="font-size: 16px;">Cause:</span>**

<span style="font-size: 16px;">When the previous design's field is left selected in the display, it will try to use the previous benchmark, which may be too far away.</span>

**<span style="font-size: 16px;">Solutions:</span>**

<span style="font-size: 16px;">Select the correct Client, Farm, and Field. You may need to create a new field to load the design into.</span>
