Please read the
following information carefully to ensure problem-free and
optimal functionality.
The
GNS 3000
is a GPS/GALILEO/GLONASS receiver with
Bluetooth technology. The powerful 99-channel GNSS receiver
allows simultaneous reception of GPS, GALILEO and GLONASS
signals. The
GNS 3000
supports the SBAS System for accuracy
improvement, all worldwide standards (WAAS, EGNOS, QZSS,
MSAS, GAGAN) are supported. Due to its state of the art GNSS
and Bluetooth technology the GNS 3000 supports almost all
recent and older Apple products as well as Android devices
and other handhelds (smartphones, PDAs, Notebooks) with
highly accurate position information.
Note: The
GNS 3000
is not a USB device, the USB port can
only be used for charging the battery. Data transfer over
USB port is not possible.

Logger Function
The
GNS 3000 f
eatures a logger functionality. GPS data is logged
on a Storage-Card (not included) inserted into the
GNS 3000
St o r age - C ard slot .
The position is logged every second and the duration of logging
is only limited by the available memory of the storage card (1
GB allows for approximately 80 days of continuous logging).
Please only remove and insert the Storage-Card when
the GNS 3000 is switched o!
Storage-Card preparations:
The Storage-Card must have a single partition, formatted FAT or
FAT32 and a maximum of 32 GB in capacity. A maximum of 100
les are allowed on the root directory and for normal logging
purposes there must not be a le named update.gns present.
The logles are named and numbered LOG00001.TXT to
LOG99999.TXT so logging will also cease to work after LOG99999.
TXT is reached.
If the card meets all requirements but still does not work, we
recommend formatting it using the SD Memory Card Formatter
(https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/).
Start / Stop Logging:
To start GPS data logging with the
GNS 3000
turn the power switch
to OFF, then switch it ON-OFF-ON in a straight sequence within 1.5
seconds.
To stop logging simply switch o the device. Alternatively logging
will automatically stop if the battery is empty or the storage card
capacity is reached.
Logging output format:
GPS data is logged to les named and numbered LOG00001.TXT
to LOG99999.TXT. The data is recorded in NMEA 0183 (v4.10)
GGA and RMC sentences which can easily be converted into other
formats such as Google’s KML or GPX using the free conversion
tool GPSBabel which is available for most operating systems
(https://www.gpsbabel.org/).
Data is only recorded while the device has a GPS x and the actual
log le is created only when the rst GPS x has been acquired
after logging was enabled.

be automatically re-established when restarting the
GNS 3000
.
This automatic connection establishment will be interrupted when
you connect your
GNS 3000
with another device intermediately.
GPS data transfer to Android devices:
The
GNS 3000
can also be used with Android devices. The Android
Operating System does not support external Bluetooth GPS
receivers by itself, but when you use an external freeware app
such as „Bluetooth GPS“ (available in every App Store) you can
pass the data from the
GNS 3000
GPS receiver to your Android
device via Bluetooth.
After you have installed the „Bluetooth GPS“ app, set up a
partnership between the
GNS 3000
and your Android device.
Start the „Bluetooth GPS“ app and select the GNS 3000 receiver.
Then choose the „Enable Mock GPS Provider“ option and make the
connection by pressing the „Connect“ button. Your Android device
will now receive the GPS data from the
GNS 3000
via Bluetooth.
