1. Introduction
Solar Bluetooth GPS Receiver is a total solution of GPS receiver. High capacity rechargeable
lithium-ion battery and solar charger circuit build-in, GPS antenna, Blue tooth transmit/receive
system are included. It is designed on the most advantage GPS kernel(FirstGPSTM), got the full-
function, industry-level locating capacity and low prices.
You can use Solar Bluetooth GPS Receiver as vehicles navigator, security system, geographic
measurement, investigations or agriculture purpose. Solar Bluetooth GPS Receiver operation
requirement is a proper power supply and the open sky-view. Solar Bluetooth GPS Receiver can
communicate with other electronic devices by Blue tooth interface. Built-In Flash Memory can save
satellite information and do almanac refresh periodically .This will shorten Time To First
Fix(TTFF) effectively.
Patent protected Solar Cell design can extend the device usage time up to 30 hrs. This is much
longer than competitors’. Lithium-ion battery can be re-charged reasonably under nature or
artificial sunlight no matter Solar7 receiver is turned on or off. Most of time ,you are free of
charger!
