Canmore GT-750F(L) Bluetooth GPS Receiver Data Logger


We used many bluetooth GPS units before because we develop aviater equipment. We've also used many survey grade recievers that cost $70K. This one is by far the best cheap hand-held unit we've used. Battery lasts for ages and the satellite acquisition is really fast compared to other chipsets. We left it sitting outside for a week once, still turned on, and due to the power save mode it still worked when we remembered about it a week later and reconnected.

The GT-750F(L) is a single board of Bluetooth-GPS receiver for customers who require easy system integration and minimal development risk.

The GT-750F(L) is optimized for good performance and low cost. Its 65 parallel channels and Venus 6 search bins provide short start-up time and fast signal acquisition. Having fast time-to-first-fix and high sensitivity, the GT-750F(L) offers good navigation performance even in urban canyons.

The GT-750F(L) is capable of keeping up to 256,000 records or positions, including longitude, latitude, speed, UTC, and tag data. The location histories can be exported to mapping software such as Google Earth or TrackMaker.

Satellite-based augmentation systems, such as WAAS and EGNOS, are supported to yield improved accuracy.

The onboard patch antenna provides good signal reception. It provides fast satellite signal acquisition and short startup time. Acquisition sensitivity of 155dBm and tracking sensitivity of 160dBm offers good navigation performance even in urban canyons having limited sky view.

Class 2 Bluetooth offers up to 10 meters of wireless operation with Bluetooth-enabled devices such as PDA, Tablet-PC or Smart mobile phone.


Ran for another 8 hours or so before it finally ran out of juice. It will even get satellites in a basement under a 2 story house. The fact that it even gets a signal is very impressive. Size-wise it is smaller than a deck of cards - about the size of a really small flip cell phone. Came with battery together, and one lengthwise across them endwise is the approximate size. Can't go wrong with this unit. It is standard bluetooth serial port profile (SPP slave) and streams NMEA data the moment you connect. The strings it supports are GGA,GSA,GSV,RMC.

Features:

  • Acquire and track 65 satellites simultaneously
  • Venus 6 simultaneous time-frequency search bins

  • Data Logger & Photo Track Functionality
  • 2M Bytes flash memory for data logging, with 16 bytes binary data per record that stores up to 256,000 data records
  • Baud rate : Support standard NMEA-0183 at 38400 bps
  • Log data can be exported to mapping software such as Google Earth and TrackMaker
  • Logging data interval programmable: by time or distance
  • Datum : WGS84
  • Bluetooth version 2.0 compliant
  • Compatible with Bluetooth devices with Serial Port Profile (SPP)
  • Position Accuracy : 5 meters CEP accuracy without SA
  • Support G-mouse function via USB cable
  • Charger circuitry and battery socket for N3650 Li-ION battery
  • More than 13 hours of operation
  • Dimension:73x44x21 mm

If you do your research you'll find out that this GPS receiver has by far the most channels (65), one of the most accurate chips (160dBm) and one of the most long lasting batteries , but enough about technical details, if you're looking for a bluetooth GPS receiver that will work with your windows mobile device, don't look any further, this is the product for you.
