The latest version of LinksPoint’s industry leading Bluetooth GPS receiver features extended battery life (up to 10 hours), with interchangeable battery and increased memory (1MB). It can interface with any Bluetooth-enabled mobile device to provide GPS data to applications.

LinksPoint’s Bluetooth GPS receiver is unique in the marketplace in that it is the only Bluetooth GPS device that offers simultaneous use of real-time GPS reception and data logging. Other devices can be configured for one or the other. This allows the device to send GPS points in real-time to the handheld computer when it is in the vehicle and then automatically switch to data logging when the driver leaves the vehicle.

The LinksPoint Bluetooth GPS receiver also includes exclusive firmware to support LinksPoint’s “Dynamic Waypoint Density” data logging triggers, which can substantially reduce extraneous GPS points and data storage requirements. The GlobalPoint Bluetooth GPS offers real-time correction, through the use of the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) or EGNOS. The receiver comes with a built-in, rechargeable battery that can be “hot-swapped.”
