             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Participants and
Plan Administrator of the
Trimble Navigation
Savings and Retirement Plan

We have audited the financial  statements of the Trimble  Navigation Savings and
Retirement Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and for the years
then ended,  as listed in the  accompanying  table of contents.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's  management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance  with the standards of the Public  Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and  perform  the  audits to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the
financial  statements  are free of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial  statements.  An audit also  includes  assessing  the  accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by the Plan's management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended,  in conformity with  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedule,  as listed in
the accompanying  table of contents,  is presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and is not a required  part of the basic  financial  statements  but is
supplementary  information  required  by the  Department  of  Labor's  Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income
Security Act of 1974. The  supplemental  schedule is the  responsibility  of the
Plan's management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures  applied in the audits of the basic financial  statements and, in our
opinion,  is fairly  stated in all  material  respects  in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                 TRIMBLE NAVIGATION SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

NOTE 1 - THE PLAN AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General - The  following  description  of the  Trimble  Navigation  Savings  and
Retirement  Plan (the "Plan")  provides only general  information.  Participants
should refer to the Plan document for a more complete  description of the Plan's
provisions.

The Plan is a defined  contribution plan that was established in 1988 by Trimble
Navigation  Limited (the "Company") to provide  benefits to eligible  employees.
The  Plan  administrator  believes  that the Plan is  currently  designed  to be
qualified  under the applicable  requirements  of the Internal  Revenue Code, as
amended and the  provisions of the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act of
1974 ("ERISA"), as amended.

Administration  - The Company has  appointed an  Administrative  Committee  (the
"Committee") to manage the operation and administration of the Plan. The Company
contracted  with Fidelity  Management  Trust Company  ("Fidelity") to act as the
custodian  and  trustee,  and  with  an  affiliate  of  Fidelity  to  act as the
third-party administrator. Substantially all expenses incurred for administering
the Plan are paid by the Company.

Estimates  -  The  preparation  of  financial   statements  in  conformity  with
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in the  United  States  of  America
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported
amounts of assets and  liabilities,  and  changes  therein,  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities.  Actual  results  could  differ  from those
estimates.

Basis of accounting - The  financial  statements of the Plan are prepared on the
accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting  principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Investments  -  Investments  of the Plan were held by Fidelity  and  invested in
mutual  funds and the  Company's  common  stock based  solely upon  instructions
received from participants.

The Plan's investments in mutual funds and the Company's common stock are valued
at fair value as of the last day of the Plan year,  as measured by quoted market
prices. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.





Income taxes - The Plan has been amended since  receiving  its latest  favorable
determination  letter dated  September 10, 2002.  The Company  believes that the
Plan is operated  in  accordance  with,  and  qualifies  under,  the  applicable
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended and related state statues,
and that the trust,  which forms part of the Plan is exempt from federal  income
and state franchise taxes.

Risks and  uncertainties - The Plan provides for various  investment  options in
any  combination  of  investment  securities  offered by the Plan.  In addition,
Company common stock is included in the Plan.  Investment securities are exposed
to various risks, such as interest rate,  market  fluctuations and credit risks.
Due to the risk associated with certain  investment  securities,  it is at least
reasonably  possible  that  changes in market  values,  interest  rates or other
factors in the near term would materially affect participants'  account balances
and the amounts  reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits
and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.

NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY AND PARTY IN INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are managed by an affiliate of Fidelity, the trustee of
the Plan.  Any  purchases  and sales of these  funds are  performed  in the open
market at fair value.  Such  transactions,  while  considered  party-in-interest
transactions under ERISA regulations,  are permitted under the provisions of the
Plan and are  specifically  exempt  from the  prohibition  of  party-in-interest
transactions under ERISA.

As  allowed  by the Plan,  participants  may elect to invest a portion  of their
accounts in the common stock of the  Company.  Aggregate  investment  in Company
common stock at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was as follows:

Date        Number of shares             Fair value                Cost

2004          317,651                  $ 10,495,197            $ 3,845,861
2003          229,787                  $  8,557,286            $ 3,734,295

NOTE 3 - PARTICIPATION AND BENEFITS

Participant   contributions  -  Participants  may  elect  to  have  the  Company
contribute  from 1% to 18% of  their  eligible  pre-tax  compensation  up to the
amount allowable under current income tax regulations. Participants who elect to
have the Company contribute a portion of their compensation to the Plan agree to
accept an equivalent reduction in taxable compensation.  Contributions  withheld
are invested in accordance with the participants' direction.

Participants are also allowed to make rollover contributions of amounts received
from other tax-qualified employer-sponsored retirement plans. Such contributions
are  deposited  in the  appropriate  investment  funds  in  accordance  with the
participant's direction and the Plan's provisions.





Employer  contributions - The Company is allowed to make matching  contributions
as defined in the Plan and as approved by the Board of  Directors.  For 2004 and
2003,  the Company  matched 50% of the  participant's  contribution  up to 5% of
compensation  with a maximum  of $2,500  per year.  Contributions  for the years
ended  December 31, 2004 and 2003 were  approximately  $1,905,000 and $1,803,000
respectively.

Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their entire account, including
employer matching contributions.

Participant  accounts  -  Each  participant's   account  is  credited  with  the
participant's  contribution,  Plan  earnings or losses and an  allocation of the
Company's  contribution,  if any.  Allocation of the Company's  contribution  is
based on participant contributions and eligible compensation,  as defined in the
Plan.

Payment of benefits - Upon  termination,  each  participant or beneficiary  will
receive  the  benefits  in  a  lump  sum  amount  equal  to  the  value  of  the
participant's  interest in their account. The Plan allows for automatic lump sum
distribution of participant account balances that do not exceed $5,000.

Loans to participants - The Plan allows each participant to borrow not less than
$1,000  and up to the lesser of $50,000  or 50% of their  account  balance.  The
loans are secured by the participant's  balance. Such loans bear interest at the
available  market  financing  rates  and must be  repaid  to the  Plan  within a
five-year  period,  unless  the loan is used  for the  purchase  of a  principal
residence in which case the maximum  repayment period is ten years. The specific
terms and conditions of such loans are established by the Committee. Outstanding
loans at December 31, 2004 carry interest rates ranging from 5% to 9.5%.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS

The following table presents the fair values of investments and investment funds
that include 5% or more of the Plan's net assets at December 31:
