paintings in a ruler's tomb deep in the bowels of a recently discovered ruin. No
flash was allowed in the crypt 10 metres below ground level, where the F-Pro
team used the light of the video camera to capture the "Indiana Jones" adventure

A SCOUTMASTER GPS
from Trimble Navigation became an indispensable tool during
the 1,700km expedition through the jungles and mountain tracks of Central
America, when on more than a few occasions our route book was wrong, but our
pre-programmed waypoints kept us going in the right direction. Here we are
approaching Morazan, 2.5 kms away with 4 satellites and the SCOUTMASTER showing
the way.

access the internet, retrieve e-mail and talk to the world from the remote
jungles and mountainous areas of Central America.
