Precisely records where your car, boat or aeroplane has travelled over time, which you can playback on software such as Google Earth to map your journey. It's a great device for off-road drivers, sailors, farmers and grey nomads and can record a lifetime of travelling onto a single SD card.
ﾕ Records the route, time & date on an SD card (available separately) each time the vehicle is used
ﾕ Stored SD card data can be displayed in Google Earth or other mapping software
ﾕ Records points of interest (POI) at the press off a button*. In Google Earth, each POI marker is displayed as a yellow pin with an associated time & distance from the start
ﾕ Records in up to five formats: Google Earth KML, GPS Exchange, raw NMEA data & two Microsoft Excel compatible formats
ﾕ Can record POI locations in a spreadsheet called LOG.XLS and can record a travel diary with private & business entries in a spreadsheet called DIARY.XLS
ﾕ When diary recording is turned on, pressing the POI button during a trip means that the distance travelled (in km) is recorded in the 'Business' column of DIARY.XLS
ﾕ Powered from the vehicle's 12V battery & can be permanently wired into circuit.
Kit supplied with silk-screened PCB, enclosure (150 x 80 x 30mm) with label, pre-programmed PIC, GPS module, and electronic components. *Power cable and push button switches for POI and travel available separately depending on your application.
The SMD components are already pre-soldered to the PCB to save you the hassle.
