1. Product Overview

The

HOLUX

GR-239 Bluetooth GPS Receiver is a complete GPS

solution featuring Bluetooth and UART interface for high sensitivity to

tracking signals. The GR-239 design is based on SiRF Star III Single Chip

Architecture and is powered directly from a cigarette lighter, which saves

the trouble of charging the device.

The GR-239 is a dual-function GPS receiver. It not only transmit

satellite information through the PDA or Notebook with Bluetooth capability

but is also a G-Mouse GPS receiver and through a USB data cable to

deliver satellite signal to the device without Bluetooth capability.

This positioning application meets your needs with car navigation,

mapping, surveying, security, agriculture and features needed. The GR-239

connects to other device through Bluetooth or Serial Port Profile (SPP). It

supports NMEA 2.2 output protocol, which helps to save satellite

information such as the satellite signal status, the last location, date and

time of last use.

With low power consumption, the GR-239 tracks up to 20 satellites at

a time, re-acquires satellite signals in 100 ms and updates position data

every second. Trickle-Power allows the instantaneous start and Push-to-Fix

permits users to obtain a quick position fix even if the receiver is usually off.
