The sleek and sexy Eye-Fi Card is a standard SD card with 4GB of storage and Wi-Fi. Combine it with Trimble’s TrimPix Pro System and you can take high-resolution photos with a digital camera and wirelessly transfer them in real-time to a Trimble Windows Mobile handheld. The TrimPix Pro system is a bundle comprising of TrimPix Pro software and an Eye-
Fi Pro card that enables you to take high-resolution photographs with any SDHC-compatible digital camera.
Why Your Field Crew Needs the Eye-Fi and TrimPix Pro System…
Trimble’s TrimPix Pro system Datasheet explains how the immediate transfer of photos from the camera to the handheld minimizes the effort spent back in the office where you were previously required to process the images in bulk. Your field crew can take multiple pictures of an electrical infrastructure while collecting it’s assets in on the handheld. And like two college kids on Spring Break (some call it true love), the Eye-Fi and Trimble handheld will automatically hook up!..The pictures will automatically load as additional attributes (in TerraSync) enabling field workers to quickly check the pictures for quality and accuracy with the other assets collected.
Use the TrimPix Pro system with: GeoExplorer 2008 Series handhelds, Juno series handhelds, and Trimble Nomad G series handhelds
Wireless, streamline, time-saving, error prevention…Romantic isn’t it???
I’m sure this post didn’t answer all your questions. However, Trimble’s FAQ page might do the trick!
So I get to write a blog entry about the 2010 ESRI Development Summit in Palm Springs California! Do I tell you about the 86 degree sunshine, the college kids on spring break, the street party, the beautiful women by the pool (gotcha!), the breath taking mountains or the serene desert? Okay! Well, no, I did not get to see any of that. But, I did learn a lot of cool stuff about the ArcGIS 10 pre-release which is planning to ship out April 1st, 2010. Of course, it is April Fool’s Day, so I am not holding my breath.
I started Monday at 8:30 a.m. with the “Getting Started with the ArcGIS Web Mapping APIs Session” by Presenters Jeremy Bartley, Kelly Hutchins, and Sterling Quinn. I’m telling you…lot’s of cool stuff in the new APIs for JavaScript, Flex, and Silverlight. The Version 2.0 Beta was released Sunday, so I am pretty excited about that and the new editing widgets that are avaialable in all three api’s.
Over the past few days I attended sessions back to back, including: “Using and Extending the ArcGIS WebMap for Flex”, “Working with the ArcGIS API for Flex”, “Distributed Geodatabase Development”, “Working with the ArcGIS API for JavaScript” and several user presentations on Javascript and Flex work. All that flexing can wear you out! But it is Palm Springs!
Of course, the most exciting news to some of you will be the new Iphone Application Development API. There is also a rumor of an Android Development API, which was the subject of many questions during the mobile technology question sessions. Everybody seems to be hot to jump on the Android bandwagon.
I also spent a lot of time with several of the ESRI development team leads whom helped me with answering several questions and providing
issue solutions.
Well that was a brief flash of the summit. I am incredibly pumped about getting the pre release and implementing all the new stuff as soon as I get back to work!
Blog at you all again soon!

Oh to leave with a list of a few of the new things for ArcGIS Desktop here is a list straight from Jack Dangermon’s slide!
- An ArcCatalog window built into ArcMap for quick data access
- Easier and faster ways to find and use symbols and tools
- Auto hide and dockable windows (e.g., table of contents) so your focus remains on the map
- Ability to execute geoprocessing in the background, allowing you to continue to interact with your map
- Integration of a new window in ArcMap to simplify project management and collaboration
- New Query layers that allow you to access all data (including spatial data) stored in relational databases via standard SQL
- Creation and management of time-based data
- Can display and animate temporal datasets
- Python window console within ArcMap
- Being able to automate everything with Python
- Desktop add-ins template
Yeah, it’s a modem (and its actually not noticeable, unless your wearing skinny jeans)! Please welcome the TDL 3G Cellular Modem Accesorry from Trimble. This all day provider of network accessibility to Trimble Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capable handheld devices like the GeoXH, Nomad G Series, Recon, and Juno SB/SC enables instant, reliable, and secure Internet and VRS corrections in the field. According to Trimble’s datasheet, the modem is composed of a simple one-button interface and easy-to-use configuration software.
The modem was designed with the field worker in mind! Charged with a 3,000 mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery, the TDL 3G will work for a full day on one battery charge. It’s designed to work in +14 degree weather (probably tested at a Chicago Bear’s game last January). It was also tested in 140 degree scorching sunshine by a man sporting a plaid onesie and chugging hot sauce. On a serious note, this is a seriously rugged modem and has been drop tested onto a steel surface at 3.9 ft. Did I mention that it’s also waterproof? I wonder if they just ran that test from the sweat off the guy in the onesie?..
At lower connection speeds (BT connection at 2G/2.5G), the TDL 3G device can last for up to 12 hours in the field. Bluetooth connections are ideal for accessing high accuracy VRS connections over the Internet. RTK for 12 hours could mean longer work days (if your boss is like ours), but it also means you are collecting high quality data, more quickly locating assets in the field, and removing the need for postprocessing in the office.
At normal connection speeds (Wi-Fi connection at 3G/3.5G), you will receive up to 5 hours of battery life. Although not a full work day, most Wi-Fi connections are used only when you require high speed Internet access. We assume you’ll be downloading project files and maps, sending/receiving email, and sending in your data to the office at the end of the day.
If you think the standard belt clip or pouch is too fancy or your pockets are full of keys and tobacco, Trimble has also created a pole mount option. Trimble’s handheld devices can also use the TDL 3G connection within typical Wi-Fi ranges (50 m/165 ft indoors and 100 m/ 330 ft outdoors).
Have more questions? So did we. Find answers on Trimble’s Customer FAQ page.
Will the TDL 3G cellular modem work in my region?
Does the TDL 3G come with a cellular connection/SIM card?
Texas Gas is an interstate pipeline that moves natural gas from Gulf Coast and Fayetteville Shale supply areas to more distant on-system markets in the Midwest and to off-system markets in the Northeast via interconnections with third-party pipelines. It originates in the Louisiana Gulf Coast area and in East Texas and runs north and east through Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and into Ohio, with smaller diameter lines extending into Illinois. 
Geo-Jobe GIS Consulting is currently teaching two private training classes for Texas Gas Transmission, ArcGIS Desktop I & ArcGIS Desktop II.
Because of GEO-Jobe’s new mobile classroom, we can bring up to 10 of our own new Dell Laptops with the latest ArcGIS software to make training even more convenient for you! Contact us for more information!
John Isbell, Sumner County Assessor of Property, was named the 2010 President of the Tennessee Association of Assessing Officers. Isbell has worked with Geo-Jobe in recent years to upgrade the county’s GIS system, a Geopowered.com property database. In 2007, the Sumner County GIS was recognized as one of the top 100 GIS worldwide out of 100,000 submissions. Sumner Counties enterprise system has come together under Isbell, enabling the countys’ cities and utilities to share data.
