HOLUX M-1200 Bluetooth GPS Receiver Manual
1. Overview
(Fig.1)
The HOLUX M-1200 Bluetooth GPS Receiver (Fig. 1) is a total solution GPS
receiver with Bluetooth, UART interface and built-in rechargeable battery for high
sensitivity to tracking signal. M-1200 design is based on MediaTek Inc.(MTK) GPS
solution-MT3318 low power Architecture.
M-1200 is a dual-function GPS receiver. Not only transmit satellite information
through the PDA or Notebook by Bluetooth interfaces but also is a G-Mouse GPS
receiver through a HOLUX designed data cable (Optional cable, see chapter 6 ) to
deliver satellite signal to the device without Bluetooth interface.
M-1200 meets the requirement of field application, such as car navigation, mapping,
agriculture surveying and security use under clear view of sky. M-1200 contacts to other
device through Bluetooth interface, and built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery to save
satellite information such as the status of satellite signal, the previous available location,
date and time.
With the advanced technology, M-1200 can track up to 32 satellites simultaneously,
re-acquires satellite signals in 0.1 microsecond and updates position data per second.
