GPS Receiver Module GM-8461/GN-8462

GM-8461 is a miniature high-sensitivity, low-power GPS/AGPS module which integrates eRide’s hardware Measurement Platform (MP) into a single, compact and easy to integrate SMD device.
GN-8462 is a high-sensitivity, complete GPS/AGPS receiver module that combines a hardware measurement platform with eRide’s powerful navigation software integrated onto an embedded 32-bit RISC microprocessor.

Features

  • Small 9 x 11 mm footprint for compact SMT designs. Footprint-compatible with eRide’s eMD1100Z OPUS ONE miniRide module.
  • High sensitivity of -161dBm (both acquisition & tracking).
  • GM-8461 is a measurement platform (MP) solution.
  • GN-8462 supports direct NMEA output with same footprint as GM-8461
