The HOLUX RCV-3000 Wireless GPS Logger allows users to store of up to 200,000 GPS
coordinates of latitude, longitude, time, and elevation. The data can be anal zed b uploading to a
computer through its USB/ Bluetooth connection. Once the coordinates and the digital images are
integrated, the tracking histor and the location the images were taken can be shared through
ezTour or Google Earth.
The HOLUX RCV-3000 Wireless GPS Logger is a total solution GPS Logger with Bluetooth,
USB interface and built-in rechargeable batter for high sensitivit to tracking signal. RCV-3000
design is based on MediaTek Inc. (MTK) GPS solution-MT3329 low power Architecture.
RCV-3000 is a dual-function GPS Logger. Not onl transmit satellite information through the
PDA or Notebook b Bluetooth interfaces but also is a G-Mouse GPS Logger through a HOLUX
designed data cable to deliver satellite signal to the device without Bluetooth interface.
RCV-3000 meets the requirement of field application, such as car navigation, mapping,
agriculture surve ing and securit use under clear view of sk . RCV-3000 contacts to other device
through Bluetooth interface, and built-in rechargeable Li-ion batter to save satellite information
such as the status of satellite signal, the previous available location, date and time.
With the advanced technolog , RCV-3000 can search up to 66 satellites simultaneousl , re-acquires
satellite signals in 0.1 microseconds and updates position data per second.
