The SBT-168 Bluetooth GPS receiver incorporates a state-of-the-art wireless Bluetooth radio module and a high performance, low power consumption GPS chipset in a compact design. This Bluetooth GPS receiver allows you to receive GPS data on mobile hand-held devices. By sending the GPS data wirelessly, you may place this receiver on a position with best signal reception without the constraint of annoying wires. It can also be used as G-Mouse by connected with a data cable. The receiver is equipped with portable, rechargeable, with removable battery, just like a mobile phone. The only requirement is your corresponding hand-held device is also with the Bluetooth connection capability. The receiver is very suitable for broad applications such as vehicle navigation, mapping, surveying, etc. Only clear view of sky and battery power are necessary to the unit. With its ultra low power consumption, the receiver tracks up to 16 satellites at a time while offering fast time-to-first-fix, re-acquires satellite signals in 1 second (average) and updates position data every second.
