Trimble adds subfoot GPS receiver for mapping

Sunnyvale, CA, April 22, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB) today introduced its latest GPS Pathfinder Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers for Geographic Information System (GIS) data collection and mapping.

The GPS Pathfinder ProXH integrates a GPS receiver, antenna and battery, and uses Bluetooth technology for cable-free communications to a field computer and Trimble's new H-Star technology to provide subfoot (30 centimeter) positioning accuracy.

Trimble's new GPS Pathfinder Pro series also includes the ProXT receiver. In the same form factor as the ProXH, the ProXT receiver delivers submeter accuracy.

Trimble H-Star technology is a combination of the ProXH receiver technology, field data collection techniques and postprocessing that allows users to achieve subfoot accuracy. With the addition of an external Zephyr antenna, eight-inch (20 centimeter) accuracy can be obtained, according to Trimble.

The ProXH and ProXT receivers come with different mounting options -- belt, backpack, range pole or on a vehicle. The receivers are available from Trimble's dealers and business partners. For more information, see the Trimble web site.
