ESRI recently announced there will be an ArcGIS 9.2 Service Pack 5 earlier this month. The announcement comes before the scheduled release of ArcGIS 9.3, which means the release will probably be pushed back to third quarter of this year. ESRI continues to stick with releasing quarterly updates and service packs, as promised, until the new version is finally released. Click Here to read the Announcement from ESRI.
Google announced yesterday the launch of a new tool that will dramatically change the virtual landscape of the company’s Google Earth product. Cities in 3D is the latest of several free offerings from Google designed to encourage content sharing — this time, people in small to medium-size cities across the nation and around the world will have the opportunity to swap more content.
If your local government is like many around the world, you’ve invested in developing a 3D model representing buildings in your city’s downtown–perhaps your entire jurisdiction. Or, maybe you haven’t yet produced a 3D model, but you’ve collected the geospatial data necessary for producing a model. With Google’s Cities in 3D Program, your local government can share this 3D data with the public by adding a model of your city to Google Earth.
I first saw this story in Government Tech ezine. More info is available at Google’s sketch up site.Did I mention its free? Go here to learn more about it.

GPS Pathfinder ProXRT Receiver Sets New Standard for Mapping Accuracies and Convenience
Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) today introduced a flexible Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver for Geographic Information System (GIS) data collection and mapping—the GPS Pathfinder® ProXRT receiver. The receiver combines a high-performance GPS receiver with Trimble® H-Star™ technology, OmniSTAR correction capability, and optional GLONASS capability to provide various levels of positioning accuracies—from submeter to decimeter (10 centimeter) accuracy.
The ProXRT receiver is ideal for high-accuracy mapping, data collection, and asset
management applications in industries such as water/wastewater, utilities, telecommunications, transportation as well as many others. In recent years, these industries have experienced the need for subfoot and decimeter level performance.
With Trimble’s patented H-Star technology, GPS Pathfinder ProXRT receiver users can relocate assets in real time so they can verify their data before they even leave the job site. Users can connect to a real time correction source and collect decimeter positions in the field by using wireless communications link and a local Trimble VRS™ network or they can set up a base station for additional flexibility.
With Bluetooth® technology, the GPS Pathfinder ProXRT receiver allows for cable-free communications to a field computer. The receiver can be connected to a variety of field computers, including the rugged Trimble Nomad™ series, Trimble Recon® handheld, or the Trimble Ranger™ handheld as well as laptops, tablet PCs, and PDAs.
The Trimble TerraSync™ software or Trimble GPScorrect™ extension for ESRI ArcPad software provides a complete solution from the field to office and back.
The GPS Pathfinder ProXRT receiver is expected to begin shipping in March 2008 from Trimble’s worldwide Mapping and GIS dealers and business partners.
As the only authorized reseller of Trimble Mapping and GIS equipment in the State of Tennessee, GEO-Jobe GIS is really excited about this new product and will begin selling this as soon as it becomes available to us. Pictures to follow as soon as they are made available.
