Trimble GPS offers complete business and consumer solutions by marrying GPS technology with other technologies

Trimble GPS systems are unique in that the approach that is used by the company, which has been in the market of positioning systems since 1978, offers complete consumer solutions by marrying GPS technology with other technologies. This means that the Trimble GPS systems are generally not just GPS navigation units, but also have an ulterior motive.

For example, Trimble GPS systems are used extensively in areas such as asset tracking. Asset tracking takes the GPS navigation and positioning technology and uses it in conjunction with radio and other wireless technologies to enable fleet management companies to keep track of their vehicles and the state of each machine.

In this way, it is possible for them to be able to know if a particular asset is in need of repair, and also when it is at its closest to an available repair point. Combining the Trimble GPS with asset management and fleet control software also means that the solution is complete from the point of view of the user.

Other applications that run along the same lines include marine applications where it is important for the user to know where vessels are, and even for individual vessels to report their location. Trimble GPS systems make this possible by reporting back to a main point of contact.

For the end user, Trimble GPS also supply units which make tasks that require mobile GIS capabilities – in fact they were pioneers in the area of combining GPS technology with on board processors to augment the two technologies and make use of available synergies.
