TR-151 page 3 1. Introduction and Features 1.1 Introduction TR-151 is a durable and water resistant GPS/GSM/GPRS tracker. Users can install TR-151 on vehicles or assets for tracking. It can send out SMS with its location (longitude and latitude) to user’s cell phone by GSM network or to personal computer by internet connection of GPRS network. Then users can track the location of their vehicles or assets. TR-151 is designed to equip with high capacity of Li-ion battery for long operation time. There is one SOS button on the TR-151 for emergency help. It is very easy to install or hide TR-151 in the car to perform tracking. TR-151 is ideal application for vehicle tracking and equipment/assets monitoring. 1.2 Features z High sensitive GPS chipset z Combination of GPS ,GSM/GPRS wireless network z Durable and water resistant GPS tracker z Easy to install or hide in the car to perform tracking.

TR-151 page 33 4.7 Displaying the location on map The format of longitudes and latitudes got from TR-151 differs from the format of Google map/earth’s longitudes and latitudes. So users have to convert the format of longitudes and latitudes got from TR-151 into the format Google map/earth’s longitudes and latitudes before displaying the location on map. The format of longitudes and latitudes got from TR-151 is like E2459.79 and N12129.26. E2459.79 means E24°59.79’. N12129.26 means N121°29.26’ Please take the digits at the right side of the degree to be divided by 60. The number you get is the number at the right side of decimal. For example, the longitudes and latitudes got from is E2459.79 and N12129.26 You have to take 59.79 ÷ 60 =0.9965 ; 29.26 ÷ 60=0.487666 0.4877≒ Then you can enter 24.9965 and 121.4877 into Google earth or Google map to display the location. ● Start the Google Earth software. Input the latitude and longitude The Google Earth will display the location map for you.
