GPS Receivers

MPFC-26 Serial GPS

The MPFC-26 GPS now available from Action Replay is a low cost completely self contained GPS Receiver, active antenna, power supply and USB communications package all housed in a neat plastic unit. Approximately the size of a matchbox, this unit has features and functions that are only normally available from units that cost twice the price.

The unit powers itself from a passthrough connector to the mouse or keyboard port on your laptop computer, consuming a tiny amount of current.

The MPFC-26 is based on the latest SiRF Star III GPS Chipset, one of the fastest starting and most accurate chipsets available. Updates are available every 1 second, and are accurate down to 5 metres. This is one of the first of the new generation GPS chipsets that has an all-in View high performance multifunctional 12-parallel channels. The output protocol is version 2.2 supporting the latest commands such as GGA, GLL, VTG, RMC, GSA, GSV supporting most GPS or mapping software that use NMEA.

All the GPS needs is a clear view of the sky to be able to calculate your position and altitude accurately to within a few feet. With older systems getting a position in cities and woodland was difficult. With the latest single satellite positioning it provides more position fixes in the urban canyon or dense foliage environment.

The case is magnetic and holds itself firmly to the car bodywork.

There is no need to install any drivers on your computer. Just plug it in and immediately you will start to receive the position, accurate down to a few feet, ready for your navigation software.

Also available with different PDA plug.
