cf-28 internal gps holux slim

hi to all
after having positioned in the third internal slot pcmcia bluetooth card buillinton that works very well.... I have thought about installing with velcro.. (the new mini gps bluetooth HOLUX M-1200 GPS BLUETOOTH 32 Channels M1200... dwarfish.. 64 (w) X 22 (L) X 15 (H) mm MTK CIP is better of the classical SIRF 3)... under the battery with THIS MINI GPS turns BY VELCRO toward black plastic cover. not magnesium..
For gps charge (15 H litium battery internal) perhaps also possible WITH internal usb cable??? ..
Sensor MTK MT3318 to 32 parallel channels to low energetic consumption
32 parallel channels for a fast and precise acquisition
Superior sensibility to -159 dBms

I have ordered gps aspect that delivers ...I will know you' to say.......

and sorry for my english......translator...

 

i am very confused. Did you use an online translator?

 

i don't think junglew was asking any dell or any other branded laptops other than Panasonic Toughbook people, but i suppose dells are only sold in america and all americans only speak english what was i thinking?

 

I hope it works good for you! Getting signal inside our magnesium boxes is not easy.

 

junglew - Sure appreciate you sharing the good news! What sort of signals are you receiving and at what distance, please?

It sure would be nice to finally identify a Bluetooth device that is easily installed, low energy draw, and powerful enough to maintain a solid connection through the magnesium case.

 

mmmhmmm... The bluetooth GPS thing is something I've suggested here before; the hardcore modders tend to poo-pooh the idea, as they desire the whole BUILT-IN aspect.
These units may not draw power from the laptop to run themselves, but remember - that Bluetooth module does draw some juice when it's active.

I suppose doing GPS over bluetooth couldn't hurt, but I've already got a USB external GPS antenna. Don't need more external goodies

I'd like to figure out a way to get sat data from two engines. I've got a permanent mount antenna on my crown vic (Will be put into the hearse shortly), and if two engines could pull more satellite data, that'd be nice.

Modly, I can tell you for certain that it is possible for a Toughbook to handle input from at least 3 GPS's simultaneously. We run Cf-27's with Pcmcia x 4 serial port dongles feeding the data to the box. The down side, we use something called "Dredgepack", google Hypack Software, and the price of poker with those guys is around $7,500 to start.
You wouldn't get any better accuracy with multiple GPS's, but if you zoomed way in you would be able to tell which way the hearse was heading, even if it wasn't moving. Then you could put a bluetooth GPS on your beer and you would know where it was in the car!

 

Modly, if you get good reception from one GPS, additional GPSs probably won't help. As with anything, it depends on what you want to do with it. capt.dogfish's post is certainly interesting, though! I googled for Dredgepack, and that is very cool, though obviously beyond hobbyist use.

One of the best things I did to improve GPS performance, was to get a more modern GPS. In the last six years I've gone from $300 GPS to a $19 GPS (USA Black Friday sale). The GPS are progressivly better. Using the SiRF III chipset, my most recent GPS always shows 9 or more sats outside, and enough to be usable inside. My older GPS had to be very near a window to be used at all.

My only hard measurement is while wardriving. While using older serial GPS, I always noticed that I had many networks found, but I had no GPS data for them. I had apparently just lost lock enough to have that happen. Looking at the wigle stats, I see that of 56,000 networks I've discovered total, there are over 10,000 without GPS!

Since I moved to a SiRF III GPS, I have only noticed three or four since November 2007 without GPS data. If I had not have dropped GPS signal so much, I would be another ten slots higher in the rankings. Looking through everyone else's stats, I see that this is a common problem.

 

Picoshark, The SirfIII chipset blows everything else I have tried, with the exception of a couple of $5-7000 units from Trimble and CSI, out of the water. When I first started taking my BU353 to training sessions at Hypack the engineers there couldn't believe how well it worked. They all bought them! It's a whole new world for GPS. I get to compare the accuracy of my $40 GPS against the best of the high end stuff on a daily basis and it always gives adequate accuracy. In my work, a 30' miss when dumping contaminated dredge sediments into a prepared cell can cost $15K per event. Understand that I do very accurate work on sites I have never seen(they're under water) and GPS accuracy is not just an interesting exercise, it's essential.

OH SH!T! just doesn't seem adequate...

 

Mnem, sounds like you're still sleep deprived from getting up with the cookie cruncher. lol

 

RE: capt.dogfish; $7500 to find my beer in the car, sounds like just what I've been looking for!

 

Different folks got different priorities

 

as my world studies high school teacher would say "different strokes for different folks". really does make the world go round'!
