1. Introduction
HOLUX GR-86 Ver D is a high performance, low power consumption,
small size, very easy integrated GPS module designed for a broad spectrum of
OEM system applications. This product is based on the proven technology
found in other HOLUX 20 channel GPS receivers and SiRF GSC3 chipset
solution. The GPS module will track up to 20 satellites at a time while providing
fast time-to-first-fix and one-second navigation updates. Its far reaching
capability meets the sensitivity requirements of car navigation as well as other
location-based applications. Therefore, HOLUX GR-86 module is very fit to the
customers who devote themselves to AVL system integration and
location-based service.
The GR-86 design utilizes the latest surface mount technology (BGA) and
high level circuit integration to achieve superior performance while minimizing
space and power requirements. This hardware capability combined with
software intelligence makes the board easy to be integrated and used in all
kinds of navigation applications or products. The application system may
communicate with the engine board set via CMOS 3V voltage level.

4. Software Interface
The GR-86 interface protocol is based on the National Marine Electronics
Association's NMEA 0183 ASCinterface specification, which is defined in Ⅱ
NMEA 0183, Version 2.2 and the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime
Services (RTCM Recommended Standards For Differential Navstar GPS
Service, Version 2.1, RTCM Special Committee No.104).
As soon as the initial self-test is complete, the GR-86 begins the process
of satellite acquisition and tracking automatically. Under normal circumstances,
it takes approximately 42 seconds to achieve a position fix, 38 seconds if
ephemeris data is known. After a position fix has been calculated, information
about valid position, velocity and time is transmitted over the output channel.
The GR-86 utilizes initial data, such as last stored position, date, time and
satellite orbital data, to achieve maximum acquisition performance. If
significant inaccuracy exists in the initial data, or the orbital data is obsolete, it
may take more time to achieve a navigation solution. The GR-86 Auto-locate
feature is capable of automatically determining a navigation solution without
intervention from the host system. However, acquisition performance can be
improved as the host system initializes the GR-86 in the following situation:
4.1 NMEA Transmitted Messages
The default communication parameters for NMEA output are 4800 baud, 8
data bits, stop bit, and no parity.

4.2 RTCM Received Data
The default communication parameters for DGPS Input are 9600 baud, 8
data bits, stop bit, and no parity. Position accuracy of less than 5 meters can be
achieved with the GPS-82 by using Differential GPS (DGPS) real-time
pseudo-range correction data in RTCM SC-104 format, with message types
1,2, or 9. As using DGPS receiver with different communication parameters,
GPS-82 may decode the data correctly to generate accurate messages and
save them in battery-back SRAM for later computing.
