The NavTrac XL

GPS. Innovative 3-D diagram makes stay- ing on course as easy as driving down a road. Now with a new slim-line design and high contrast display.

Long hauls. GPS navigation makes good business sense.

If you want to make a profit in the shipping business, you can't afford inefficiency. You can't waste fuel and you can't waste time. That's why the Global

Positioning System is such an important tech- nological advance. In the right hands, its precision and its worldwide availability will put you well ahead of your competition. • One company has consistently pioneered the promise of

GPS—Trimble Navigation. That's why you'll find Trimble GPS on virtually everything that floats, from the most modern container ships to state-of-the-art America's Cup boats. • Which isn't surprising when you consider that no one offers the range of products or the depth of features that

Trimble does. • So give us a call, and we'll show why the people who use Trimble products think of them not as navigation systems but as business machines.

Instant alerts. With Trimble's

Galaxy ™ system you get the worldwide text messaging powers of lnmarsat-C and

GPS in one compact system.

Automatic distress alerts complete with position, and precisefleet tracking are just two of its benefits.
