GPS receiver for GEO coordinates and navigation

• additional equipment for the weather station UNIKLIMA^® vario
• GPS receiver module with integrated antenna
• determination of the own location
• provides the precise time
• RS232 serial or USB interface (for stand alone operation)

• 101212

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a global navigation satellite system for positioning and timing. It has established itself as the world's most important location method. The whereabouts of the user of a GPS receiver are not trackable, though, because the devices are currently working passively and do not send any signals. This will keep the data protection.

The GPS receiver provides the UNIKLIMA^® vario the current geographical coordinates. Thus the position of the weather station is located very precisely.

In addition, the GPS receiver provides the time with an accuracy of 1 micro-second. The internal clock of the weather station is synchronized with the received GPS time and thus the weather data always get a very exact time stamp.
