                               WARRANT TO PURCHASE
                      __________ SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF
                           TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED

No. W2001-___

     FOR  VALUE  RECEIVED,  the  receipt  and  sufficiency  of which  is  hereby
acknowledged,  this  warrant has been issued by Trimble  Navigation  Limited,  a
California  corporation  (the  "Company") to  ______________  (the  "Purchaser")
pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Stock and Warrant  Purchase
Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Purchase  Agreement").  This warrant
certifies that Purchaser and its nominees or assigns hereunder (the "Holder") is
entitled to purchase from the Company up to ______________ (________) fully paid
and nonassessable  shares of the Company's common stock ("Common  Stock"),  at a
price of $19.475 per share (which is 125% of the "Fair Market  Value" of a share
of Common Stock, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, hereinafter the "Exercise
Price"),  at any  time or  from  time to  time  up to and  including  5:00  p.m.
(California  time)  on  the  Expiration  Date  (as  hereinafter  defined),  upon
surrender  to the  Company at its  principal  office at 645 North  Mary  Avenue,
Sunnyvale, California 94088 (or at such other location as the Company may advise
the  Holder in  writing)  of this  Warrant  properly  endorsed  with the Form of
Subscription  attached  as Exhibit A hereto  duly  filled in and signed and upon
payment, in any manner set forth herein, of the aggregate Exercise Price for the
number of  shares  for which  this  Warrant  is being  exercised  determined  in
accordance  with the  provisions  hereof.  The Exercise  Price and the number of
shares  purchasable   hereunder  are  subject  to  additional   adjustments  and
limitations as provided in Section 4 of this Warrant.


                                       1




  This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

  1. Exercise.
     ---------

     1.1  Issuance  of  Certificates;   Payment  for  Shares.  This  Warrant  is
exercisable  only by the  Holder of record  hereof,  at any time or from time to
time,  in whole or in part,  until 5:00 p.m.,  California  time, on December 19,
2006 (the "Expiration Date"). The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock
purchased  under this Warrant  shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof
as the record  owner of such  shares as of the close of  business on the date on
which  this  Warrant  shall  have  been  properly   surrendered   for  exercise.
Certificates  for the shares of Common  Stock so  purchased,  together  with any
other  securities  or property to which the Holder  hereof is entitled upon such
exercise,  shall be  delivered,  free of any  legends  except as provided in the
Purchase Agreement, to the Holder hereof by the Company at the Company's expense
as soon as practicable  but, in any event,  within three (3) trading days, after
the rights  represented  by this Warrant have been so exercised.  In case of the
purchase of less than all the shares which may be purchased  under this Warrant,
the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon its surrender and execute and deliver
a new  Warrant  or  Warrants  of  like  tenor  for  the  balance  of the  shares
purchasable  under the  Warrant  surrendered  upon such  purchase  to the Holder
hereof as soon as practicable  but within said three (3) day period.  Each stock
certificate so delivered shall be in such  denominations  of Common Stock as may
be requested by the Holder  hereof and shall be  registered  in the name of such
Holder or such other name as shall be designated by such Holder,  subject to the
limitations contained in Section 10.

     1.2 Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the
Company  fails  to  deliver  to  the  Holder  a  certificate   or   certificates
representing  the shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon exercise of the Warrant
(the "Warrant Stock") pursuant to an exercise by the third trading day after the
date of exercise,  and if after such third trading day the Holder  purchases (in
an open market  transaction  or otherwise)  shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction  of a sale by the  Holder of the  Warrant  Stock  which the  Holder
anticipated  receiving  upon such exercise (a "Buy-In"),  then the Company shall
(i) pay in cash to the  Holder  the  amount  by  which  (x) the  Holder's  total
purchase  price  (including  brokerage  commissions,  if any) for the  shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the
number of Warrant  Stock that the Company was  required to deliver to the Holder
in  connection  with the  exercise  at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the
Common  Stock  at the  time of the  obligation  giving  rise  to  such  purchase
obligation  and (ii) at the option of the Holder,  reinstate  the portion of the
Warrant and  equivalent  number of Warrant Stock for which such exercise was not
honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would
have been issued had the Company timely  complied with its exercise and delivery
obligations  hereunder.  The Holder  shall  provide the Company  written  notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

     2. Shares to be Fully Paid;  Reservation of Shares.  The Company  covenants
and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise
of the  rights  represented  by  this  Warrant  shall,  upon  issuance,  be duly
authorized,  validly  issued,  fully  paid and  nonassessable  and free from all
preemptive  rights of any shareholder  and free of all taxes,  liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that
during the period


                                       2




within which the rights  represented by this Warrant may be exercised,  the
Company  shall at all times have  authorized  and  reserved,  for the purpose of
issue or transfer  upon  exercise of the rights  evidenced  by this  Warrant,  a
sufficient  number of shares of authorized but unissued  Common Stock,  or other
securities and property, when and as required to provide for the exercise of the
rights  represented  by this Warrant.  The Company shall take all such action as
may be  necessary  to assure that such  shares of Common  Stock may be issued as
provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may
be listed.  The  Company  shall not take any action  which  would  result in any
adjustment  (pursuant  to Section 4 hereof) of the  Exercise  Price if the total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable  after such action,  together with all
shares of Common Stock then  outstanding  and then issuable upon exercise of all
options  and all  similar  rights  and upon the  conversion  of all  convertible
securities  then  outstanding  would exceed the total number of shares of Common
Stock then authorized by the Company's  articles of incorporation.

  3. Exercise.
     ---------

     3.1 Payment of Exercise  Price.  Payment of the Exercise Price may be made,
at the option of the Holder, (i) in cash or by check, (ii) by canceling all or a
portion of any indebtedness of the Company to the Holder,  in an amount equal to
the aggregate  Exercise  Price of the shares of Common Stock then being acquired
by the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant,  (iii) by a combination of cash and
cancellation of such  indebtedness,  or (iv) by electing a net issue exercise in
the manner  described in Section 3.2 below.

     3.2 Net Issue  Exercise.  In lieu of exercising  this Warrant by payment of
the  Exercise  Price  pursuant  to Section  3.1  above,  the Holder may elect to
convert this Warrant (the  "Conversion  Right"),  in whole or in part,  into the
number of shares of Common Stock calculated  pursuant to the following  formula,
by surrendering this Warrant and specifying the number of shares of Common Stock
which the Holder desires to convert:

                            X = Y (A - B)
                                ---------
                                     A

          where:            X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be
                                issued to the Holder;

                            Y    = the number of shares of Common Stock
                                 subject to this Warrant for which the
                                 Conversion Right is being exercised;

                            A = the fair market value of one share of Common
                                Stock; and

                            B = the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

     As used  herein,  the fair market  value of one share of Common Stock shall
mean the closing price per share of the Company's  Common Stock on the principal
securities  exchange  on which the Common  Stock is then  listed or  admitted to
trading or, if not then listed or admitted to trading on any such  exchange,  on
the NASDAQ National Market System, or if not then listed or traded on the NASDAQ
National  Market  System,  the  average of the bid and offer  price per share on
NASDAQ,  in


                                       3




each case  averaged  over the ten (10) trading days  consisting  of the day
preceding  the  date  upon  which  the  Warrant  is  exercised  and the nine (9)
consecutive  trading  days prior to such day. If at any time the Common Stock is
not listed or traded on any exchange or system, the current fair market value of
a share of Common  Stock shall be the price per share  which the  Company  could
obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee, consultant or director) for
shares of Common Stock sold by the Company,  as  determined in good faith by the
Company's board of directors.  Notwithstanding  the preceding  sentence,  if the
Company  shall become a party to a merger,  acquisition  or other  consolidation
pursuant  to which the Company is not the  surviving  entity,  the current  fair
market value of a share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the value received
by the holders of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to such transaction.

     In the event of any conversion of this Warrant, certificates for the shares
of stock so converted  shall be  delivered to the Holder as soon as  practicable
but, in any event, within three (3) days thereafter and, unless this Warrant has
been fully converted or has expired,  a new Warrant  representing the portion of
the  shares,  if any,  with  respect to which this  Warrant  shall not have been
converted,  shall also be issued to the Holder as soon as practicable but within
such three (3) day period.

     4.  Adjustment of Exercise  Price and Number of Shares.  The Exercise Price
and/or the  number  and kind of shares  purchasable  upon the  exercise  of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment  from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events described in this Section 4.

     4.1  Subdivision or Combination of Stock.  In case the Company shall at any
time subdivide its  outstanding  shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares,  the number of shares  purchasable  hereunder  shall be  proportionately
increased and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
shall be proportionately reduced and, conversely, in case the outstanding shares
of Common  Stock of the  Company  shall be  combined  into a  smaller  number of
shares,  the number of shares  purchasable  hereunder  shall be  proportionately
reduced and the Exercise Price in effect  immediately  prior to such combination
shall be proportionately increased.

     4.2 Dividends or Distributions  in Common Stock,  Other Stock, or Property.
If at any time or from time to time the  holders of Common  Stock (or any shares
of capital stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of
this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment
therefore,

     (a) Common  Stock or any shares of stock or other  securities  which are at
any time  directly or indirectly  convertible  into or  exchangeable  for Common
Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for,  purchase or otherwise acquire
any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,

     (b) any cash paid or  payable  otherwise  than as a regular  periodic  cash
dividend at a rate which is substantially  consistent with past practice (or, in
the case of an initial  dividend,  at a rate which is  substantially  consistent
with industry practice), or

     (c) Common Stock or other or additional  capital stock or other  securities
or property (including cash) by way of spin-off,  split-up, or similar corporate
distribution  (other  than


                                       4


shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split,  adjustments  in respect of
which shall be covered by the terms of Section 4.1 above),

then and in each such case,  the Holder hereof shall,  upon the exercise of
this  Warrant,  be entitled  to receive,  in addition to the number of shares of
Common  Stock  receivable  thereupon,  and  without  payment  of any  additional
consideration  thereof,  the amount of stock and other  securities  and property
(including  cash in the cases  referred to in clauses  (b) and (c) above)  which
such Holder  would hold on the date of such  exercise  had it been the holder of
record of such  Common  Stock as of the date on which  holders  of Common  Stock
received or became  entitled to receive such shares and/or all other  additional
capital stock and other securities and property.

     4.3 Reorganization,  Reclassification,  Consolidation or Merger. If, at any
time while this Warrant is  outstanding,  (i) the Company  effects any merger or
consolidation  of the  Company  with or into  another  entity,  (ii) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of
related  transactions,  (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another  entity) is  completed  pursuant  to which  holders of Common
Stock are  permitted to tender or exchange  their  shares for other  securities,
cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common
Stock or any  compulsory  share  exchange  pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively  converted into or exchanged for other securities,  cash or property
(in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"),  then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive,  upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and
kind of  securities,  cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive
upon the occurrence of such Fundamental  Transaction if it had been, immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Stock
then  issuable   upon   exercise  in  full  of  this  Warrant  (the   "Alternate
Consideration").  The  aggregate  Exercise  Price for this  Warrant  will not be
affected by any such  Fundamental  Transaction,  but the Company shall apportion
such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate  Consideration in a reasonable
manner  reflecting  the  relative  value  of  any  different  components  of the
Alternate  Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the  securities,  cash or property to be received in a Fundamental  Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it  receives  upon any  exercise  of this  Warrant  following  such  Fundamental
Transaction.  At the Holder's request, any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in such Fundamental  Transaction  shall issue to the Holder a new warrant
consistent  with the foregoing  provisions  and evidencing the Holder's right to
purchase the  Alternate  Consideration  for the  aggregate  Exercise  Price upon
exercise  thereof.  The terms of any  agreement  pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction  is effected  shall  include terms  requiring any such  successor or
surviving  entity  to  comply  with the  provisions  of this  paragraph  (c) and
ensuring that the Warrant (or any such  replacement  security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
If any Fundamental  Transaction constitutes or results in a change of control of
the  Company,  then at the request of the Holder  delivered  before the 90th day
after such  Fundamental  Transaction,  the  Company  (or any such  successor  or
surviving  entity)  will  purchase  the  Warrant  from the Holder for a purchase
price,  payable in cash  within five  trading  days after such  request  (or, if
later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the value
of the Warrant on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction,  determined
using a Black  Scholes  valuation  model  and  assumptions  reasonably  mutually
acceptable  to the  Company  and  Holder,  provided  that for  purposes  of such
calculation,  the market  price of the Common  Stock  shall be the higher of the
closing price on trading day immediately  preceeding or the


                                       5


closing  price  on  the  trading  day  immediately   following  the  public
announcement  of  such  Fundamental  Transaction,  and  in  no  event  will  the
volatility  factor be greater  than fifty  percent  (50%).  For purposes of this
Section 4.3, "change of control" means a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company or a  consolidation  or merger of the Company into or with
any entity or entities  after which the holders of capital  stock of the Company
hold  less  than  fifty  percent  (50%)  of  the  aggregate  outstanding  voting
securities of the surviving entity.

     4.4 Additional  Shares.  The number of shares purchasable upon the exercise
of this  Warrant  shall be subject to increase  from time to time in  accordance
with the  provisions  of  Section  6.3(b)  of the  Purchase  Agreement  upon the
occurrence of certain events as set forth in that section.


     4.5 Sale or Issuance Below Warrant Price.
         --------------------------------------

     (a) Adjustment to Warrant  Price.  The "Warrant  Price" shall  initially be
equal to the Fair Market Value, as defined in the Purchase Agreement,  and shall
be subject to adjustment and readjustment from time to time, as required by this
Section 4.5. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time issue or sell
any of its Common Stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants,  options, or any
other rights or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock for
a  consideration  per share less than the  Warrant  Price in effect  immediately
prior  to the  time of such  issue  or sale  (excluding  certain  securities  as
described  below),  the Warrant  Price shall be reduced  concurrently  with such
issue or sale to a price  (calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent) determined
by dividing  (A) the number of shares of Common  Stock  Outstanding  immediately
prior  to such  issue  or sale  multiplied  by the  Warrant  Price  plus (B) the
aggregate consideration received for such issue or sale, by the number of shares
of Common Stock Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.

     The  Exercise  Price  shall  also  be  concurrently   reduced  to  a  price
(calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent)  determined by  multiplying  1.25 by
the reduced Warrant Price.

     The number of shares of Common Stock "outstanding" as used in the foregoing
calculation  shall  mean the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  issued  and
outstanding  plus the  number of shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon (x) the
exercise of all  outstanding  options and warrants to purchase  Common Stock and
(y) the conversion of all outstanding  convertible preferred stock,  convertible
debentures,  or any other rights or securities  convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock.

     (b)  Exceptions to Adjustment  of the Warrant  Price.  No adjustment to the
Warrant  Price or the  Exercise  Price shall be made under this Section 4.5 as a
result of any grant or  issuance  by the  Company  of any  rights or  securities
approved by the Company's board of directors in good faith, as follows:

          (i) Any grant or  exercise  of any  shares of Common  Stock  issued to
     employees, officers and directors of or consultants to the Company pursuant
     to any stock option plan,  employee  stock purchase plan or similar plan or
     incentive arrangement approved by the Company's board of directors;

                                       6



          (ii) Any options,  warrants or other convertible  securities or rights
     or agreements to purchase securities of the Company outstanding on the date
     hereof; (iii) Any underwritten public offerings of the equity securities of
     the Company (excluding any equity line of credit);

          (iv) Any equity securities  issued for  consideration  other than cash
     pursuant to a merger, consolidation,  acquisition or other similar business
     combination;

          (v) Any equity  securities  issued in connection with any stock split,
     stock dividend or recapitalization of the Company;

          (vi) Any equity  securities of the Company  issued in connection  with
     strategic  transactions  involving  the  Company  and other  entities  in a
     similar or complementary  business of the Company, such as, but not limited
     to, joint ventures,  manufacturing,  marketing or distribution  agreements,
     technology  transfer  agreements,   research  and  development  agreements;
     provided that, in each case, the primary purpose of such transaction is not
     the raising of capital for the Company and the primary  business purpose of
     such  other  entity  is not  investing  in  securities;

          (vii) Any equity  securities  of the  Company  issued  pursuant to any
     equipment  leasing  arrangement  or debt  financing  from a bank  or  other
     financial  institution;  provided that, in each case, the primary  business
     purpose of such other entity is not investing in securities; and

          (viii) Any shares of Common  Stock  issued  upon the  exercise of this
     Warrant or any similar warrant issued  pursuant to the Purchase  Agreement.

     (c) Other Factors.  No adjustment shall be made under this Section 4.5 upon
the issuance of any additional  shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant
to the exercise of any options or warrants or other rights or the  conversion of
any  convertible  securities if any adjustment  shall  previously have been made
upon the issuance of any such options,  warrants or rights or the  conversion of
any convertible securities as provided above. If the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock otherwise  issuable or deemed issued for purposes of this Section 4
upon the  exercise of any options,  warrants,  convertible  securities  or other
rights or  agreements  is not in fact issued and the  remaining  portion of such
options, warrants,  convertible securities or other rights or agreements expires
or otherwise terminates,  then the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as previously
adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.5, shall be readjusted as if such expired or
terminated  portions  had not been  considered  issuable  or deemed  issued  for
purposes of this Section 4.5. In the case of the issuance or deemed  issuance of
shares of Common Stock for a  consideration  other than cash, the  consideration
received  by the Company  therefor  shall be deemed to be the fair value of such
consideration  as determined in good faith by the Company's  board of directors.

   4.6 Limitations on Exercise.
       ------------------------

     (a)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein, the number
of shares of Common  Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any  exercise
of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect  hereof) shall be limited to the extent
necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total
number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially  owned

                                       7



by such Holder and its  Affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation
D under the Securities  Act) under Section 13(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the  "Exchange  Act"),  does not exceed 4.999% of the total
number of issued and  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock  (including  for such
purposes  the shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon such  exercise).  For such
purposes,  beneficial  ownership  shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations  promulgated thereunder.
Each delivery of an Exercise Notice  hereunder will constitute a  representation
by the Holder that it has evaluated the  limitation  set forth in this paragraph
and determined that the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock to
be  issued  as  requested  in such  Exercise  Notice  is  permitted  under  this
paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of
the  limitation  referred to in this Section  shall be suspended  (and shall not
terminate or expire  notwithstanding  any contrary provisions hereof) until such
time,  if any, as such shares of Common Stock may be issued in  compliance  with
such  limitation.  By written  notice to the  Company,  the Holder may waive the
provisions of this Section but (i) any such waiver,  including  such increase in
shares,  will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered
to the  Company,  and (ii) any such waiver will apply only to the Holder and not
to any other holder of Warrants.

     (b)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein, the number
of shares of Common  Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any  exercise
of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect  hereof) shall be limited to the extent
necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total
number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially  owned by such Holder and its
Affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D under the Securities  Act)
under  Section 13(d) of the  Securities  Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.999% of
the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for
such purposes the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise).  For such
purposes,  beneficial  ownership  shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations  promulgated thereunder.
Each delivery of an Exercise Notice  hereunder will constitute a  representation
by the Holder that it has evaluated the  limitation  set forth in this paragraph
and determined that the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock to
be  issued  as  requested  in such  Exercise  Notice  is  permitted  under  this
paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of
the  limitation  referred to in this Section  shall be suspended  (and shall not
terminate or expire  notwithstanding  any contrary provisions hereof) until such
time,  if any, as such shares of Common Stock may be issued in  compliance  with
such  limitation.  By written  notice to the  Company,  the Holder may waive the
provisions of this Section but (i) any such waiver,  including  such increase in
shares,  will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered
to the  Company,  and (ii) any such waiver will apply only to the Holder and not
to any other holder of Warrants.

     4.7 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, and/or
any increase or decrease in the number of shares  purchasable  upon the exercise
of this Warrant, the Company shall issue a certificate prepared by the Company's
chief  financial  officer,  stating  the  Exercise  Price  resulting  from  such
adjustment  and the  increase  or  decrease,  if any,  in the  number  of shares
purchasable  at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant,  and setting forth
in  reasonable  detail the method of  calculation  and the facts upon which such
calculation is based.  The Company shall send a copy of such  certificate to the

same,  consents and agrees that this Warrant,  when endorsed in blank,  shall be
deemed negotiable, and that the Holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been

this  Warrant as the  absolute  owner  hereof for any  purpose and as the person
entitled to  exercise  the rights  represented  by this  Warrant;  but until the

of this Warrant. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay
to the Holder  entitled  to such  fraction


                                       11


a sum in cash equal to such  fraction  multiplied  by the then fair  market
