OnCourse Bluetooth GPS Receiver Edition 4 (44 channels SkyTraq, A-GPS, WAAS enabled, Auto On/Off)

OnCourse Edition 4 Bluetooth GPS receiver 44 channels chipset from SkyTraq, the OnCourse Edition 4 is able to acquire GPS position fix in about 30 seconds. With A-GPS, cold start time is as fast as 5 secs. With A-GPS, you will be able to obtain GPS position fix before your GPS software is even launched!

OnCourse Edition 4 provices higher sensitivity and satellite pickup offers much faster reception and TTFF (time-to-first fix) for even the most metroplitan areas, or getting out of an indoor / underground parking garage. 

• Exceptional performance: Fastest Acquisition time of just about 30 secs (cold start). With Assisted GPS (A-GPS), cold start time is as fast as 5 secs!
• Longest Standby time: More than 1000 hrs with vibration sensor for auto on/off. About 17 hrs of battery operation time per full charge.
• Best Accuracy: Supports DGPS (WAAS) for great accuracy at 2.5m.
• Auto On/Off: If a paired PDA / laptop Bluetooth is disconnected/idel after 5 mins, GPS automatically turns off to conserve power. If the Bluetooth is still not connected in with 1 hr, the OnCourse enters into sleep mode (bluetooth is also off). 
  
  

Once the OnCourse is being moved or shacked, the built-in vibration sensor automatically turns on the Bluetooth and try to re-connected with a previously paired PDA / laptop. As soon as connected is made, GPS receiver automatically turns on and ready for your navigation software. OnCourse Edition 4 works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world*, 24 hours a day. (* users must have a GPS software and maps to take advantage of this OnCourse Edition 4)

There is also no subscription fees or setup charges to use our GPS receivers. This Bluetooth GPS receiver works with all Bluetooth smart phones, laptops, PDA`s regardless of brand. The high performance GPS receiver is an ideal receiver to be used in any strict weather condition even fog, snow or rain to avoid ever getting lost again.
