Item 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.

On or about November 20, 2007, Trimble Navigation Limited (“Trimble”), through its trustee, Fidelity Management Trust Company, sent a notice to participants in the Trimble Navigation Limited Savings and Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) informing them that the Plan would be changing the valuation of Trimble common stock from share-accounted to real-time trading.

This notice indicated that, as a result of the change, from a period beginning at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on December 20, 2007 and ending at 9:30 am on December 26, 2007 (the “blackout period”), Plan participants will temporarily be unable to make exchanges, transfers, request distributions, or obtain loans involving Trimble common stock in the Plan.

For inquiries regarding the blackout period, plan participants may contact Fidelity Investments at 1-800-835-5095, or Trimble’s employee benefits department by phone 408-481-8000 or in writing to: Trimble Navigation Limited, Attention: Employee Benefits, 935 Stewart Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94085.

On November 20, 2007, Trimble also provided written notice to its Section 16 officers and directors pursuant to Section 306(a)(6) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of SEC Regulation BTR.  This notice stated that during the blackout period, Section 16 officers and directors will be subject to trading restrictions relating to Trimble’s equity securities, including derivative securities, which were acquired in connection with their employment or service as a Section 16 officer or director.
