14 DAY TRIAL // Trimble, a provider of embedded imaging and communication solutions for the digital camera industry, announced it has added TrimPix technology to its Mapping & Geographic Information System (GIS) handheld product line. TrimPix technology makes it easy to link high-resolution digital photographs to GIS features using selected Nikon cameras.
Based on Connected Photography by FotoNation, TrimPix technology enables Trimble GeoExplorer 2005 series of GPS handhelds and Trimble Recon and Ranger field computers running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 to wirelessly connect to a digital camera. Using the handheld devices built-in wireless LAN (WiFi), TrimPix technology enables Trimble users to connect to and receive images from selected WiFi-capable Nikon digital cameras, including the COOLPIX range of cameras - COOLPIX P1, P2, P3, S6, and S7c.
As each photo is taken, the Nikon camera quickly and automatically transfers the digital image to the Trimble handheld GPS receiver or handheld field computer wirelessly. Once the photo has been transferred, it can then be linked to GIS feature and location data in the handheld device.
Trimble customers with the GeoExplorer 2005 series GPS handhelds and Trimble Recon and Ranger field computers can download the TrimPix software for free at www.trimble.com/trimpix.asp. TrimPix technology is being showcased at Trimble Dimensions Users Conference in Las Vegas and the European Conference for ESRI Users in Athens, Greece.
