1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Leadtek GPS LR9553D. Leadtek LR9553D, based on cutting
edge SiRFStar III technology, is a high performance, low power, 20-channel GPS data logger
and receiver with wireless capability. As such it is a highly compatible Bluetooth solution with
extraordinary configurability and sensitivity. Not to forget its appealing ergonomics—sleek,
round and lightweight. The innovative switch-mode design not only makes for easy activation
but also enables more power saving when LR9553D is used as a pure data logger which
records your tracking data from the received GPS signals. It provides users enough space to
store their tracking data including the altitude, GPS position, date and time- up to 240 hrs in
the continuous mode. It is not necessary to export the data until the memory is full. LR9553D
also comes equipped with mini USB interface both for easy charging and for users to be able
to export their recorded points to Google earth and Google Maps without a hitch. If using with
your digital camera and the convenient application software*, you can easily integrate your
valuable photos with the GPS data you have recorded and make them your forever sweet
memories.
*The application software enclosed in the Leadtek GPS LR9553D CD-ROM is a very complete
and easy-to-use tool for you to integrate your photos and the GPS data. Please register on line
