Emtac Mini-S3 Bluetooth GPS Receiver (WAAS enabled)

Small Wireless GPS for use with PDAs, laptop computers, and Bluetooth-enabled devices

 

 

Emtac Mini-S3 Bluetooth WAAS GPSThe Emtac Mini-S3 Bluetooth GPS Receiver is almost a third smaller than previous models, with lots of great features. Powered by the SiRF III chipset, the Mini-S3 is fast to acquire a GPS fix and gets reception in dense cover as well as urban canyons. The rubberized non-slip coating, removable battery, and WAAS accuracy make this a very popular unit. It's great for agricultural, business, sporting, or personal use.

The Mini-S3 allows you to receive GPS data wirelessly by Bluetooth. By sending GPS position data over Bluetooth, you can position the receiver for the best possible reception all without wires. The internal, user-replaceable lithium ion battery powers the GPS for at least 8 hours of continuous use, saving your PDA or Laptop's battery.

The SiRFstarIII is a high performance and low power consumption chip set. Its superior sensitivity has the ability to trace signals from 20 geo-synchronous satellites simultaneously while updating information from the satellites once every second. These improvements in reception capacity enable you to enjoy clear reception in environments with typically poor signal reception, making the mini-S3 ideal for navigating in urban canyons, in the mountains, or under dense foliage.

Features include:

  • High performance GPS receiver with Bluetooth wireless technology built-in.
  • 20 satellite channel all-in-view tracking
  • Small size for easy placement and portability.
  • Allows navigating freely without wire connection to host mobile devices - true wireless operation.
  • Great satellite reception, very fast time-to-fix and re-acquisition rate.
  • Ultra-low power consumption and lithium-ion battery enables 8 hours of continuous receiver use.
  • Removable lithium-ion battery is great for long trips or work days - carry a spare battery and pop it in when needed.
  • LED lights indicate GPS, Bluetooth, and battery status.
  • Muilti-Link supports Bluetooth connection to up to three other Bluetooth devices.
  • Embedded high sensitivity GPS active antenna and Bluetooth antenna.
  • External GPS active antenna (optional) - recommended for in-vehicle and indoors use.
  • WAAS enabled (unlike some other companies, we ship it already programmed for WAAS support).
  • Uses no card slot, so you still have expandability and data storage if using an iPAQ or other PDA.

    1. Mini-S3 Bluetooth GPS Receiver (WAAS enabled)
    2. AC (Wall) charger
