Introduction
Whether you travel in your own country, or overseas, the B10 receiver will provide you with a Global
Positioning System (GPS) based location accurate to within 5m (15ft) for 95% of the time.
The B10 receiver is a dual-function GPS receiver, which can transmit satellite information to a PDA or
laptop with Bluetooth interfaces.
The B10 receiver contains:
a GPS antenna to receive signals from the GPS satellites
an internal microcomputer to calculate the position of the receiver on Earth and update position
data every second
a Bluetooth link to send the GPS position to your PDA within a radius of less than 10m (33ft)
a built-in rechargeable battery.
The B10 receiver can be used anywhere; for example, in your pocket or your vehicle glovebox,
although it is preferred that the receiver has a clear view of the sky and can receive GPS signals
easily.
