By combining NavCom's RTK and StarFire Network, GPSWest, Inc. is able to offer NavCom's new RTK Extend feature that increases operator efficiency by allowing continued work during radio communication outages.
Torrance, CA - October 27, 2004 - NavCom Technology, a wholly owned subsidiary of Deere & Company (NYSE:DE), announced today that GPSWest, Inc. has chosen to use NavCom Technology GPS receivers for their machine control systems and their construction survey solutions.
