Overview
(Fig.1)
The HOLUX M-1200E Wireless GPS Logger allows users to store of up to 200 000
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 M-1200E Bluetooth GPS Logger (Fig. 1) is a total solution GPS Logger
with Bluetooth USB interface and built-in rechargeable battery for high sensitivity to
tracking signal. M-1200E design is based on Media Tek Inc.(MTK) GPS solution-MT3329
low power Architecture.
M-1200E meets the requirement of field application such as car navigation mapping
agriculture surveying and security use under clear view of sky.
With the advanced technology M-1200E can search up to 66 satellites simultaneously
re-acquires satellite signals in 0.1 microsecond and updates position data per second.
