1. Overview
The HOLUX M-241 Plus wireless GPS logger provides real time coordinate logging and easy-to-use trip
guiding service. The M-241 Plus can record up to 260,000 positions, each position including longitude,
latitude, time, and altitude. The log file can be transferred for analysis via USB connection. You can
combine these positions with your Digital camera photos to share the track histories and photo locations
to mapping application software such as Google Earth.
Position information, moving speed, free logging volume and the date & time can be shown on the
LCD display directly at any time. The M-241 Plus supports distance and time logging modes, kilometer
and mile distance units, and 5 languages (English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, German, and
French).
Because the M-241 Plus provides a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface, you can use it freely while
driving without the clutter of cables.
