0 Introduction
0.1 General about NAVI-S
The NAVI-S from FALCOM GmbH is a new GPS receiver that features the
SiRFstarII-low power chipset. This complete 12 channel, WAAS-enabled
provides a vastly superior position accuracy performance in a much smaller
package. The NAVI-S architecture is built on the high-performance
SiRFstarII core, adding an acquisition accelerator, differential GPS
processor, multipath-mitigation hardware and satellite-tracking engine. The
NAVI-S delivers major advancements in GPS performance, accuracy,
integration, computing power and flexibility.
Connecting to the desktop or notebook PC implementing a map or
navigation software, NAVI-S helps you to locate one objects, conduct
personal & vehicle navigation, and/or apply for geographical surveys.
There are two versions as far as NAVI-S receiver is concerned. The
specifications and functions of the receivers are the same.
The difference between both receivers can be recognised by looking on the
bottom side. The first one named NAVI-S-1 with a magnetic base integrated
inside the casing of NAVI-S-1. The receiving side of the NAVI-S-1 is on
the top side. The NAVI-S-1 is designed for in-door on-dash-board
mounting. The NAVI-S-1 is delivered also with an adhesive pad that
enables to stick the unit to non-metallic parts. The second one named
NAVI-S-2 with an adhesive pad on the bottom side of the receiver. The
receiving side of the NAVI-S-2 is on the bottom side. The NAVI-S-2 is
designed for in-vehicle (windows plane) mounting.
For more details about each order option, please see chapter “Order options”
Users are advised to proceed quickly to the chapter "Security" and
read the hints carefully.
