  Trimble Navigation Limited (now Trimble Inc.) is a global technology company
  founded in 1978 that pioneered commercial GPS technology. Trimble develops
  positioning, navigation, and geospatial solutions spanning construction,
  agriculture, transportation, and surveying industries. The company rebranded
  from Trimble Navigation Limited to Trimble Inc. in 2016. Its developer APIs
  cover GPS/GNSS positioning through Trimble Mobile Manager, high-accuracy
  survey integration via the Trimble Precision SDK, and geospatial data services.
  The positioning technology integrates GPS, laser, optical, and inertial
  technologies to deliver centimeter-level accuracy for professional applications.

    description: >-
      The Trimble Mobile Manager (TMM) API provides developer interfaces for
      integrating high-accuracy GNSS positioning from connected Trimble receivers
      into custom mobile applications. Offers a local REST API for configuration
      and a WebSocket stream for real-time GNSS position delivery. Supports
      Trimble Catalyst DA2, R580, R780, R12i, R980, and SP100 receivers.
      Abstracts receiver hardware to enable forward-compatible precision positioning apps.
