High capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery inside, GPS antenna, Bluetooth transmit/receive system are included. It is designed base on the most advantage GPS kernel(FirstGPSTM), got the full-function, industry-level locating capacity and low prices. You can use FGPXBT01 as vehicles navigator, security system, geographic measurement, investigations or agriculture purpose. FGPXBT01 operation requirement is a proper power supply and the open sky-view. FGPXBT01 can communicate with other electronic devices by Bluetooth interface. The build-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery may keep the satellites information, such as the signal status, last position, date and time. FGPXBT01 is designed as a low power consumption device, and track 8 satellites at the same time. It will update the satellite position every second. Special power saving circuit design extends the working time of all system. The FGPXBT01 utilizes initial data such as last stored position, data and time as well as satellite orbital data to achieve maximum acquisition performance. If significant inaccuracy exists in the initial data, or if the orbital data is obsolete, it may take a long time to achieve a navigation solution. The FGPXBT01 Auto-locate feature is capable of automatically determining a navigation solution without intervention from the host system. However, acquisition performance can be improved if the host system initialized the FGPXBT01 following the occurrence of one or more of the following events: 1) The GPS receiver is not in use for more than 3 months or transportation over distances further than 500 kilometers. 2) Failure of the internal memory battery without system standby power. 2.
