LIVERMORE, Calif.—February 12, 2009—Holman's, Inc., of Albuquerque, New Mexico, one of the nation's largest dealers in GIS mapping and precision surveying solutions and services, will be an exhibitor at the ESRI Federal User Conference, February 17-19 in Washington, D.C. The event will be held at the Washington Convention Center.

The booth's main attraction will be the Topcon Positioning Systems (TPS) GMS-2 Pro, the world's first handheld 50-channel GPS + GLONASS mapping system with built-in camera, laser distance meter and the industry's only image height/width measurement feature.

Demonstrations of the GMS-2 Pro will be projected on the booth's "Apple Power Wall," a combination of high-resolution video displays powered by Apple's graphical engine.

Anthony Trujillo, Holman's vice president, said, "This exciting new technology is a unique GIS solution for fast, safe and accurate field mapping. To have so much functionality in one small handheld device provides our customers with what they need without bogging them down with excessive field equipment, cables and configuration headaches.”

Representing Holman's as presenters will be Yon Egusquiza, Holman's federal account representative for Topcon, and Tony Greiner, Holman’s technical sales and service representative for Apple.

Holman's exhibit will be in Booth 331.
