1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The HOLUX GM-82 Engine Board is a total solution GPS receiver, designed based on SiRF star II
Architecture. This positioning application meets strict needs such as car navigation, mapping, surveying,
agriculture and so on. Only clear view of sky and certain power supply are necessary to the unit.
GM-82 communicates with other electronic utilities via compatible dual-channel through RS-232 or
TTL and saves critical satellite data by built–in memory backup. With low power consumption, the GM-82
tracks up to 12 satellites at a time, re-acquires satellite signals in 100 ms and updates position data every
second. Trickle-Power allows the unit operates a fraction of the time and Push-to-Fix permits user to have
a quick position fix even though the receiver usually stays off.
1.2 Features
The GM-82 provides a host of features that make it easy for integration and use.
SiRF Star II chipset with embedded ARM7TDMI CPU available for customized applications in
