1. OVERVIEW
Altina GBT710 Bluetooth wireless GPS Receiver is a total solution GPS receiver with
Bluetooth, UART interface and built-in rechargeable battery for high sensitivity to tracking
signal. GBT710 is a transmit satellite information through the PDA or Notebook with
Bluetooth interfaces.
GBT710 provide you various applications such as car navigation, mapping, surveying,
security, agriculture and so on. GBT710 communicates with other device through Bluetooth
wireless function, built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery offer you a convenient use in
drive.
With low power consumption, the GBT710 can track up to 20 satellites at a time, and
updates position data every second. Trickle-Power allows the unit operates a fraction of the
time and Push-to-Fix permits user to have a quick position fix even though the receiver
usually stays off.
