The new Bluetooth wireless capability allows mobile users to access enterprise GIS data, email, and Internet Map services (such as ArcIMS) via a cell phone connection. Bluetooth also enables wireless connectivity to PCs, PDAs, and networks to share GPS data in the field. In addition, eliminating cables to Bluetooth-enabled peripheral devices results in improved field ergonomics and provides easy connectivity to lasers, cameras, and other handheld devices.
The upgrade to Microsoft's Windows CE .NET operating system provides software that increases productivity in the field, says Trimble. "Transcriber" handwriting recognition ensures easy text entry and WordPad gives improved word processing capabilities, and Microsoft File Viewers enable easy viewing of PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and image files.
