GPS Receivers

MPFC-26 USB 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. Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, this unit has features and functions that are only normally available from units that cost twice the price.

The unit powers itself from the USB port on your laptop computer, consuming a tiny amount of current.

The MPFC-26 GPS is constructed around the SiRFstar III GPS chipset. This is the latest and most sensitive of the GPS chipsets designed specifically for pulling in the weakest signals to provide the most accurate position with the available data. As a result this is one of the fastest starting and most accurate GPS receivers 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 20 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.

Install a small driver on your computer to create a virtual com port and you can connect your software to the GPS.
