1. Overview
(Figure 1)
The HOLUX Wireless Bluetooth GPS Receiver (also known as ) has a
built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. Powered by the SiRF Star III, is
a dual- purpose GPS receiver that communicates with other systems via Bluetooth
technology. The SiRF Star III architecture packs the GPS receiver with a
comprehensive range of functions, to satisfy the rigorous requirements and
professional demands of the location technology field and the needs of personal
consumers. is totally complementary with Bluetooth-enabled PDA and
Notebooks etc. in the transmission of satellite signals.
The device can be used in car navigation, security systems, cartography, and
other applications such as surveying and agriculture etc. The basic requirement for its
use is to “have a clear view of the sky”. It relies on Bluetooth transmission technology,
USB, or other compatible interface to communicate with other electronic devices. The
built-in rechargeable battery saves satellite information such as the status of the
satellite signal, the last location, and the date and time last used.
Apart from being a very power efficient device, tracks up to 20 satellite
signals at a time *c, re-acquires satellite signals in 100 ms and updates position data
every second. Trickle-Power power saving capability allows the unit to operate only a
fraction of the time. Push-to-Fix permits users to have a quick position fix even when
the receiver was only just switched on prior to the positioning.
