Trimble Updates GNSS Processing Tools to Support Esri ArcGIS 10 Technology

COLOGNE, Germany, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB) introduced today updated versions of its Trimble® GPScorrect™ extension for Esri ArcPad and the Trimble GPS Analyst™ extension for Esri ArcGIS Desktop. These tools now support the latest Esri technology, including ArcPad 10 and ArcGIS 10 Desktop software.

The announcement was made today at INTERGEO 2010, the world's largest conference on geodesy, geoinformatics and land management.

The GPScorrect extension integrates Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) control completely within ArcPad 10 to take full advantage of the power and precision of Trimble Mapping & GIS receivers, and provides the ability to log GNSS data to improve positional accuracy after postprocessing in the office.

The GPS Analyst extension provides the tools to postprocess GPS data seamlessly inside a personal geodatabase. Incorporating the Trimble DeltaPhase™ differential correction technology, the extension offers a seamless workflow for field data collection software including ArcPad and Trimble TerraSync™ software. The GPS Analyst extension is also customizable with Esri ArcObjects, allowing users with custom field applications to integrate GPS Analyst extension's powerful data processing tools. In addition, users can capture data directly into the geodatabase by taking Esri ArcGIS with the GPS Analyst extension into the field.

"Providing robust support for GPS data collection and postprocessing within the Esri environment is a critical need for many of our customers," said Robert Laudati, marketing director for Trimble's Mapping & GIS Division. "As organizations roll out ArcGIS 10 and ArcPad 10 applications, the new Trimble extensions will make it possible for them to evolve their field data collection tools as well."

The new Trimble extensions are available from authorized Trimble resellers or from store.trimble.com. For additional information about the GPScorrect and GPS Analyst extensions, visit www.trimble.com/mgis/software.
