Improved trigonometric parallaxes of 16 nearby planetary nebulae are presented. Continued observations now give reduced errors and additional nebulae since initial results were given in 1997. Twelve nebulae have parallax errors less than 20 percent. Comparisons with other distance estimates are discussed.
