Yet another announcement from Trimble is a upgrade of well know GCSFlex for excavators. As per their release this would bring a very powerful 2D system to the industry. Operator will be able to create designs on the screen in the cab. This would make the system really FLEXible. So the affordable system would include all the sensors as well as the CB450 with addition of the MS972. This would give the operator the ability of GPS and freedom from the laser guidance.
Again availability is set for second quoter of 2012 and I hear it may be as early as first week of May.
