Hemisphere GPS Introduces Outback S-Lite Guidance

Decatur, IL — August 28, 2007— (TSX: HEM) Today, Hemisphere GPS introduced Outback S-Lite™ from the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois. As the entry-level product of its popular Outback brand, S-Lite is a low-cost, portable, entry-level GPS guidance solution for non-precision spraying, spreading, and broad-acre tillage and seeding.

Offering many of the same features as its popular Outback S™ series products, Outback S-Lite includes Straight Guidance, Contour Guidance, and Return to Point. It can eliminate the need for a foam marker and is expandable to work with Outback AutoMate™, which monitors and controls individual sprayer sections to minimize overlaps and skips. It is SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, etc.) enabled and includes Hemisphere GPS’s e-Dif® solution so it does not require any additional costly GPS subscription services. At the heart of Outback S-Lite is Hemisphere GPS’ Crescent® GPS receiver technology, providing accurate and robust GPS reception.

“As the costs associated with the agricultural industry continue to rise, the marketplace has been demanding ways to offset those increases, “said Steven Koles, President and CEO of Hemisphere GPS. “Utilizing GPS guidance tools like Outback S-Lite generates valuable cost saving, and offers a very quick return on investment, for the large segment of farmers globally whom require an entry level GPS offering for their precision agriculture needs.” Hemisphere GPS will begin shipping Outback S-Lite in November 2007. With a manufacturer suggested retail price of only $995, it comes with a 1-year standard manufacturer’s warranty. It will be available through Outback Guidance Centers, other distributors in North America, and through select Hemisphere GPS distributors worldwide.

Please visit Hemisphere GPS at the Varied Industries Tent at the Farm Progress Show, today through August 30th in Decatur, Illinois. The latest Outback Guidance products will be on display, and information will be available on products that are soon to be released.

This Month's Burning Issue...
Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.
This month's burning issue:

What message are we sending to senior level decision makers about the importance and value of Spatial Data Infrastructure - SDI - if we keep misrepresenting what SDI is or is all about?

In previous editorials in this magazine I have touched on various SDI issues, especially now that the pan-European SDI has achieved a legally mandated status within the European Union's 27 Member States. Yet I fear that the Geographic Information community - or communities, for there are many - continue to… More…
