HI-204III Cable GPS Receiver
- Latest SirfStarIII Chipset
- Fast Acquisition
- 20 Channels
- "All-In-View" Tracking
- Ultra High Sensitivity (-159dBm) GPS Receiver
The HI-204III is a GPS receiver with PS/2 mini-DIN interface and built-in active antenna for high sensitivity to tracking signals. The HI-204III is well suited to system integration and users who use any kinds of mobile devices, such as a Data Logger, notebook PC, Tablet PC, etc. It satisfies a wide variety of applications for car navigation, personal navigation or touring devices, tracking and marine navigation purpose. Users can simply plug it into a PC running suitable mapping and routing software for navigation.
The HI-204III GPS receiver continuously tracks all satellites in view and provides accurate satellite positioning data. The HI-204III is optimized for applications requiring good performance, low cost, and maximum flexibility.
The 20 parallel channels and 4000 search bins provide fast satellite signal acquisition and short startup time. Tracking sensitivity of -159dBm offers good navigation performance even in tree cover and urban canyons having limited sky view. Satellite-based augmentation systems, such as WAAS and EGNOS, are supported to yield improved accuracy.
RS232-level serial interface is provided on the interface connector. Supply voltage of 3.8V to 8Vdc is supported.
