1. Overview
(Fig.1)
The HOLUX M-1200A Bluetooth GPS Receiver (Fig. 1) is a total solution GPS
receiver with Bluetooth, UART interface and built-in rechargeable battery for high
sensitivity to tracking signal. M-1200A design is based on MediaTek Inc.(MTK) GPS
solution-MT3318 low power Architecture.
M-1200A is a dual-function GPS receiver. Not only transmit satellite information
through the PDA or Notebook by Bluetooth interfaces but also is a G-Mouse GPS
receiver through a HOLUX designed data cable (Optional cable, see chapter 6 ) to
deliver satellite signal to the device without Bluetooth interface.
M-1200A meets the requirement of field application, such as car navigation,
mapping, agriculture surveying and security use under clear view of sky. M-1200A
contacts to other device through Bluetooth interface, and built-in rechargeable Li-ion
battery to save satellite information such as the status of satellite signal, the previous
available location, date and time.
With the advanced technology, M-1200A can track up to 32 satellites
simultaneously, re-acquires satellite signals in 0.1 microsecond and updates position
data per second.
