  • Where is Trimble Planning Software? - As of the most recent software release of the Trimble software suite, the Trimble Planning Software is no longer included. It is now being released as a separate download.
  • Ever thought, "Why not a camera that's also a GPS?" - Ricoh has released a camera/GPS/compass that allows for the coordinates of the location being photographed to be automatically embedded within the image file. This allows for easy posting in ArcGIS and Google Earth! For more information, check out CNET News.
