HI-505SD Bluetooth® GPS receiver
with SD (Security Digital) interface
Introduction:
HI-505SD is a standard Bluetooth® GPS receiver with standard
miniSD™ to SD adaptor. HI-505SD equipped with the most
recent 20 channel ultra high sensitive SiRF StarIII GPS chipsets
and wireless Bluetooth® module. Simply plug HI-505SD into
any devices equipped with the standard SD slot, user can
instantly enjoy the state of the art wireless GPS navigation. The
basic concept of the HI-505SD is that the Bluetooth®/GPS
section only taking power from the host device (like PDA,
UMPC, tabletPC, laptopPC, etc.) via the miniSD™ to SD adaptor.
In the meantime, users can still using the miniSD™ memory
card without worry about the SD slot was occupied.

HI-505SD advantages:
1.Simply plug in the HI-505SD into any SD slot from the
standard mobile device with Bluetooth® features, the device
become the all-in-one GPS navigator. HI-505SD provides the
flexibility for GPS enable in different devices and different
occasion usages.
2.Unlike other SD GPS receivers occupied the SD slot,
HI-505SD allow user to use any memory size miniSD™ card
while using the HI-505SD simultaneously.
3.Unlike most SD GPS receivers with fixed build-in memory,
HI-505SD provide the flexibility for using any separate
memory size miniSD™ card depend on how big the memory
size needed.
4.Unlike regular SDIO GPS receiver require complicated
software and driver installation, user can easily use
HI-505SD and enjoy the GPS navigation simply set up the
standard Bluetooth® connection between the devices.
5.As soon as plug in HI-505SD, user can start using the
wireless GPS navigation without worry about the Bluetooth®
GPS receiver battery life.
6. Equipped with the 20 channel ultra high sensitive SiRF
StarIII GPS module, HI-505SD can get 3D fixed in any
outdoor locations and without using the external antenna.
7. Unlike normal Bluetooth® GPS receiver moving around
dashboard while driving, HI-505SD fixed on the mobile
device and not to worry about where to place the unit.
8. HI-505SD module concept allow HI-505SD become a wired
GPS receiver. By connecting with different optional cables via
the adapting box, HI-505SD can also be used as a regular
GPS mouse. HI-505SD can not only be wireless Bluetooth
GPS receiver and also be the wired GPS receivers, like, USB
GPS receiver, RS232 GPS receiver, PDA GPS receiver, etc.

GPS Technical Data
ONE-PULSE-PER-SECOND (1PPS) OUTPUT
The one-pulse-per-second output is provided for applications requiring
precise timing measurements. The output pulse is 1usec in duration.
Rising edge of the output pulse is accurate to +/-1usec with respect to
the start of each GPS second. Accuracy of the one-pulse-per-second
output is maintained only when the GPS receiver has valid position fix.
The 1PPS output is always generated when the GPS receiver is
powered-on. Proper adjustment of the 1PPS output to align with the
GPS second requires calculation of the receiver clock offset and clock
drift-rate as part of the position-velocity-time (PVT) solution. When
enough satellite signals are received to generate valid position fixes,
the 1PPS output is adjusted to align with the GPS second in several
seconds. When the 1PPS output is brought in sync with the GPS
second, the 1PPS Valid Signal on the I/O pin becomes active (HIGH);
when the 1PPS output is not yet in sync with the GPS second, the
1PPS Valid Signal remains inactive (LOW).
As long as enough satellite signals are received to generate valid
position fixes, the 1PPS output remains synchronized to the GPS
second, and the 1PPS Valid Signal remains active. If signal blockage
prevents the receiver from generating valid position fix, the 1PPS
output will drift away from the GPS second and the 1PPS Valid Signal
will become inactive. Upon re-acquiring enough satellites to generate
consecutive valid position fixes, the 1PPS Valid Signal will become
active again, signaling that the 1PPS output is again synchronized with
the GPS second.
For best stable operation of the 1PPS signal, it is to be operated in
static environment having clear view of the sky.

SOFTWARE INTERFACE
This section describes the details of the serial port commands
through which the GPS module is controlled and monitored. The
serial port commands allow users to set the receiver
parameters, configure output message type, and retrieve status
information. The baud rate and protocol of the host COM port
must match the baud rate and protocol of the GPS receiver
serial port for commands and data to be successfully
transmitted and received. The default receiver protocol is
4800bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and none parity.
NMEA OUTPUT MESSAGE SPECIFICATIONS
The GPS back card supports NMEA-0183 output format as
defined by the National Marine Electronics Association
(http://www.nmea.org). The currently supported NMEA
messages for GPS applications are:
GGA
GLL
GSA
GSV
RMC
VTG
Global Positioning System Fix Data
Geographic Position Latitude / Longitude
GNSS DOP and Active Satellites
GNSS Satellites in View
Recommended Minimum Specific GNSS Data

NMEA Messages
The serial interface protocol is based on the National Marine
Electronics Association's NMEA 0183 ASCII interface
specification. This standard is fully define in "NMEA 0183,
Version 3.01" The standard may be obtained from NMEA,
