Overview
The HOLUX RCV-3000 Wireless GPS Logger allows users to store of up to 250,000 GPS coordinates
of latitude, longitude, time, and elevation. The data can be analyzed by uploading to a computer through
its USB/ Bluetooth connection. Once the coordinates and the digital images are integrated, the tracking
history and the location the images were taken can be shared through ezTour or Google Earth.
The HOLUX RCV-3000 Wireless GPS Logger is a total solution GPS Logger with Blu etooth, USB
interface and built-in rechargeable battery for high sensitivity to tracking signal. RCV-3000 design i s
based on MediaTek Inc. (MTK) GPS solution-MT3333 low power Architecture. With the advanced
technology, RC V-3000 can search up to 66 satellites simultaneously, re-acquires satellite signals in 0.1
microseconds and updates position data per second.
RCV-3000 is a dual-function GPS Logger. Not only transmit satellite information through the PC or
Notebook by Bluetooth interfaces but also is a G-Mouse GPS Logger through a HOLUX designed data
cable to deliver satellite signal to the device without Bluetooth interface.
RCV-3000 meets the requirement of field application, such as car navigation, mapping, agriculture
surveying and security use under clear view of sky. RCV-3000 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.
