Trimble releases display system for agriculture applications
Trimble’s GFX-750 display system was designed to provide farmers with more robust signal availability. Trimble launched the GFX-750 display system for agriculture applications. According to the company, the display system comes with a simple-to-install, roof-mounted NAV-900 guidance controller featuring its most advanced multi-constellation GNSS receiver.
The GFX-750 features a high-resolution 10.1-inch display, which is ISOBUS-compatible, a universal communication protocol that Müller-Elektronik, a Trimble company, helped develop. ISOBUS allows one display or terminal to control several implements and machines, regardless of manufacturer, the company said. The display system runs on Trimble’s high-performance Precision-IQ software.
In addition, the GFX-750 offers flexible connectivity between devices through Bluetooth, WiFi and BroadR-Reach and communication from tractor to farm equipment. It has the ability to connect to signal corrections, including CenterPoint RTK, CenterPoint VRS, Trimble RTX technology and SBAS through the NAV-900 controller. The system is also compatible with Trimble Autopilot and interoperable with Trimble Ag Software.
“The GFX-750 display system is the perfect solution for a farmer who is ready to get started with precision farming—or who is interested in upgrading to a new system—due to the easy-to-use interface and roof-mounted guidance controller with embedded GNSS receiver,” said Abe Hughes, general manager at Trimble’s Agriculture Division. “This comprehensive display system can enable farmers to more easily adopt precision agriculture solutions across their farm, regardless of vehicle make, model or year.”
The GFX-750 display system comes with a triple-frequency multi-constellation GNSS receiver from Trimble that uses GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou satellites, the company added.

Esri book details Native American perspective on GIS
A new book from Esri, “Tribal GIS: Supporting Native American Decision-Making,” tells the stories of how Native American tribes use geographic information system (GIS) technology to help manage and govern their sovereign nations.According to Esri, the book, in its second edition, details how dozens of tribal governments have used GIS for a number of projects, including conserving and protecting the environment, monitoring and managing infrastructure and natural resources, preserving history and culture, studying health issues and planning how to use ancestral lands. Tribes have also used GIS to conduct road inventories, manage and protect archaeological sites, plan economic development projects, and analyze and visualize health data.
“GIS has become a common platform for problem solving by helping tribes organize and analyze data, as well as collaborate and communicate on countless issues,” said Esri President Jack Dangermond in the book’s foreword.
The book also contains a chapter on new applications of GIS, which describes how tribal governments are taking advantage of the latest geospatial technology, including Web GIS, 3D GIS, Esri Story Maps apps and ready-to-use field data collection apps.
Most of the stories are told by the Chickasaw Nation, the Navajo Nation, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.
