Trimble Launches Online Rover Tracking Service for Trimble VRS Now Subscribers
in the U.S.

Trimble VRS-iScope Provides a Visual Component to Surveying, Mapping,
Construction and Agriculture Projects for Scheduling and Asset Management

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB)
announced today that it has launched Trimble(R) VRS-iScope(TM) service in the
U.S. The add-on service offers Trimble VRS Now(TM) subscribers in Florida,
Iowa, Illinois and Colorado the ability to track and manage their assets in
real time, as well as view their session history and rover information.

The Trimble VRS Now service supplies fast, easy to use and accurate Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) correction data for a variety of
applications including surveying, urban planning, construction, agriculture,
asset management, transportation, environmental monitoring, resource and
territory management, disaster prevention and relief, weather services and
scientific research.

The Trimble VRS-iScope service provides subscribers real-time access to a
rover receiver's exact location anywhere in the network. Utilizing Google(TM)
Maps, Trimble VRS-iScope simplifies project scheduling and asset management by
giving a visual component to surveying, mapping, construction and agriculture
projects. A session management tool allows network users to visually review
their session trail on a map as well as manage their subscription usage. The
secure sign-on provides project managers and their staff the ability to
monitor assets and their network usage on demand, remotely and from any
project site.

"Trimble VRS-iScope service is the latest value-added feature to complement
our Trimble VRS Now correction data service in the U.S. Through online access
to project data as well as a real-time visual feedback on rover locations,
Trimble VRS Now is the only service of its kind to offer the highest quality
VRS correction data and real-time tracking information on the market today,"
said Pierre Desjardins, business manager for Trimble's Infrastructure business
area. "By enhancing our Trimble VRS Now service we are providing customers
with additional management tools to increase asset and worker productivity
while saving them money."

Trimble VRS-iScope represents an advance in the VRS correction data service
offerings. All that is needed is a subscription to Trimble VRS Now and
VRS-iScope, a rover, and a mobile phone with access to the Internet to begin
measuring or collecting data with Trimble-precision and to monitor rovers in
the field. Monitoring rovers can result in significant time and cost savings
by allowing organizations to know the locations of their crews. Now, managers
can dispatch crews more effectively to help increase productivity and
efficiency. It also offers ways to review past surveys and improve
methodologies going forward.

Precision GNSS surveys and data collection projects can be up and running in
minutes with Trimble VRS Now service. Without the need for a base station and
associated hardware, the user's GNSS receivers can now work independently as
rovers--saving time and money. Surveyors and other users can switch on their
receivers and real-time correction data will be available in seconds. In most
cases, no further GNSS investment is necessary. Trimble VRS Now works with
many GNSS survey instruments from a variety of manufacturers.
