SeaLand moves millions of tons of cargo from the West Coast of the U. S. to the Far East. For them, Trimble GPS is the best way to find the exact great circle routes that will save both fuel and time. For more information please call or write our Marine Division: P0.

American President Lines, one of the largest shipping lines in the world, outfitted their latest container ships with Trimble GPS. These systems can store preprogrammed lists of way- points for their frequently travelled routes. With GPS accuracy, they hold truer courses, stay on tighter sched- ules, and save tons of fuel. Inside/Outside with GPS. Crowley Maritime is stan- dardizing on Trimble GPS. Inside tugs working Puget Sound rely on Trimble accuracy to thread their way through rocky passages. Outside boats, working along the Alaskan coast and throughout the world, use GPS to stay on schedule, even in the worst weather. TrimbleNavigation The Leader in GPS Technology We wrote the book on GPS. Everythingyou need to know about GPS is in this 80-page "Guide to the Next Utility." Read it and you'll under- stand the principles behind the biggest influence on navi- gation since the compass. And it's free! Just call or write. Small box, big reputation. The Navy used the military version of our portable TransPak II to locate mines in the Persian Gulf. According to one Navy commander, it "allowed a success at mine hunting never previously experienced." Closer to home, you can use it in a tender or as a back-up unit. Ultimate Accuracy. For ultra-precise navigation, a technique called "Differential GPS" can give you 2-5 meter accuracy. Soon coastlines will be dotted with radio beacons like the one at Montauk N. Y., broadcasting corrections to GPS receivers in the area. Only Trimble products come standard with the ability to accept these corrections.
