4 Overview The HOLUX RCV-3000 Wireless GPS Logger allows users to store of up to 200,000 GPS coordinates of latitude, longitude, time, and elevation. The data can be analyzed by uploading to a computer through its USB/ Bluetooth connection. Once the coordinates and the digital images are integrated, the tracking history and the location the images were taken can be shared through ezTour or Google Earth. The HOLUX RCV-3000 Wireless GPS Logger is a total solution GPS Logger with Bluetooth, USB interface and built-in rechargeable battery for high sensitivity to tracking signal. RCV-3000 design is based on MediaTek Inc. (MTK) GPS solution-MT3329 low power Architecture. RCV-3000 is a dual-function GPS Logger. Not only transmit satellite information through the PDA or Notebook by Bluetooth interfaces but also is a G-Mouse GPS Logger through a HOLUX designed data cable to deliver satellite signal to the device without Bluetooth interface. RCV-3000 meets the requirement of field application, such as car navigation, mapping, agriculture surveying and security use under clear view of sky. RCV-3000 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, RCV-3000 can search up to 66 satellites simultaneously, re-acquires satellite signals in 0.1 microseconds and updates position data per second.

13 RCV-3000 Logger Track Logging and Mode Setting Data Logging When the power is turned on, the device will automatically search for satellite positioning (orange LED on), and then logging will begin. When the power is switched off, the logging will stop. When the power is turned on again, it will once again conduct satellite positioning and start logging. GPS Data Logging Mode Setting 1. Install ezTour onto a PC or notebook (see ezTour instructions manual for installation) 2. When the application runs, the following main screen can be seen: 3. From the Menu bar select [Setup GPS Logger] to bring up the settings window
14 4. Make sure that the RCV-3000 is connected to a PC or notebook, and select [reconnect] or [manual settings] 5. The logger can be set to record by a set time or set distance. The conditions for recording can be set the following ways: (1) Select car, bicycle, exercising, or walking mode. (2) Manually set the time or distance. 6. When the logger’s data storage is full, there are two modes to choose from: (1) Rewrite: When the data is full, data will begin to be rewritten, overwriting the data from the beginning. (2) Terminate: When the data is full, the logger will cease to record any further data. 7. Press [Confirm] to start logging according to the new setting. Data Read When the logger RCV-3000 is connected to a PC or notebook through USB or Bluetooth, the data can be extracted through ezTour. Please see ezTour instruction manual for details.
15 Bluetooth device connection installation The product includes the application Mini GPS viewer for easy viewing and testing or GPS status. The following is the steps of software installation to setup on PDA, DELL AXIM x51v with Bluetooth Manager. For other PDA or laptop device, the steps might vary. 1. In Pocket PC settingsystem panel, enable “manage GPS automatically”. Note: The setting may vary in other PocketPC or Smartphone , please check the manual or consult the technical service respectively. 2. Tap the Bluetooth icon to start “Bluetooth Manager” on Pocket PC to enable Bluetooth function. 3. In “Devices” panel , tap “New partnership” to search Bluetooth devices nearby. If the result is not found, tap “Refresh” to research again. 4. Choose the Bluetooth device “HOLUX_RCV-3000” and tap “Next” 5. Connect to “Serial port” or “SPP Slave”, then tap “Finish”
16 6. Go to the “COM ports” panel to tap “New Outgoing Port”, choose “HOLUX_RCV-3000” device and tap “Next”. 7. Select the COM port, then tap finish, it will show as right figure, and tap “OK” to finish the Bluetooth setting. Recommend not to use “Secure Connection” which may cause unstable connection. 8. Then you can enable your navigation map program to enjoy GPS function now. →
17 Installation of Mini GPS Viewer program We provide a program “Mini GPS viewer.exe” for end user to watch the satellite signal receiving status on laptop or PDA device. For Windows 2000/XP OS, you can execute “Mini GPS viewer_PC” directly. For Microsoft Pocket PC, please copy “Mini GPS viewer_PPC” to SD card or device, then execute “Mini GPS viewer_PPC”. Execute the Mini GPS Viewer program 1. The following window is shown after executing Mini GPS Viewer_PPC, The Windows 2000/XP version is just different on display. 2. Setup the Baud rate: 38400, then tap “Scan” button to scan your COM Port. Select your COM Port respectively, then tap “Open GPS” button. Check log screen below if the satellite data is receiving correctly. 3. Select “GPS Status” panel to observe the GPS information status 4. In “setup” panel you can see “Hot Start”、“Warm Start”、“Cold Start”、which allow you to re-acquisition of Ephemeris and Almanac. Basically the satellites are always moving in the sky, if Ephemeris and Almanac data in GPS Logger can’t meet real satellites status upon you if GPS Logger is over 0.5 hour power off but you are no longer in the previous position , it takes more time for the GPS Logger to get GPS position fix soon. We suggest you can click “Cold Start” or “Warm start” to re-acquisition. Or you can remove the battery for 3 seconds and reinsert it, this operation is the same with “Cold Start”.
18 Driver Installation The following is the steps of installation USB driver. System Requirement • CPU: IBM, Pentium III or above, or other compatible PC. • Memory: above 32 MB • System: Windows 2000/XP Installation I. Starts the driver installer from HOLUX website. II. Connect USB data cable to computer. System will search new hardware and install the driver automatically. III. Connect RCV-3000 GPS Logger with USB data cable. Important Verify the COM port to start using your own navigation software. I. Click <Start> menu, select → <Setting>, then enter→ <Controller> II. After entering <Controller>, and select <System>. III. Select <Device Manager>. IV. Find the < Connector (COM & LPT)> and check the Virtual COM Port, which was created by the USB driver. Please note that the virtual COM port number might be different from every computer. Before using navigation software, please confirm the COM Port numbers created by your computer and provided by your navigation software. Otherwise, the navigating software won’t receive the satellite signal, because of the un-match COM Port setting.
19 Troubleshooting Problems Possible Reasons Methods Weak or no GPS signal at the place of RCV-3000 Test under open sky at a fix location and run Mini GPS Viewer “Cold start” function. No GPS output but GPS timer is counting The ephemeris and almanac data in GPS memory is no longer valid after no use for a long time. Remove the Battery for 3 seconds and re-insert, then power on to test again. Execute fail Bluetooth function unstable Power On/Off RCV-3000. Re-Start PDA or PC and refer to “Bluetooth device connection installation” to re-connect. Can not open the COM port Bluetooth connection interrupted or COM port is conflicted/ occupied by other programs. Check the Bluetooth connection again, Check and close other programs that might conflict with. Can not find RCV-3000 Poor Bluetooth connection Re-Start PDA or PC and refer to “Bluetooth device connection installation” .
