1. Overview
The HOLUX M-241 Plus wireless GPS logger provides real time coordinate logging and easy-to-use trip
guiding service. The M-241 Plus can record up to 260,000 positions, each position including longitude,
latitude, time, and altitude. The log file can be transferred for analysis via USB connection. You can
combine these positions with your Digital camera photos to share the track histories and photo locations
to mapping application software such as Google Earth.
Position information, moving speed, free logging volume and the date & time can be shown on the
LCD display directly at any time. The M-241 Plus supports distance and time logging modes, kilometer
and mile distance units, and 5 languages (English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, German, and
French).
Because the M-241 Plus provides a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface, you can use it freely while
driving without the clutter of cables.

Menu: Select “Point” or “Route”
Enter: Setting and back to Setting mode
Note:
1. When the user select the “Point” logging method, the logged distance is the straight line distance
between the starting point and the end point.
2. If the “Route” logging method is selected , the logged distance will be the accumulated distance
of each segment between the log points. However, because the distance between any two log
points may have error, the accumulated distance value may have increased error with the
increase of the number of the log points.
