◆External Antenna Connector (MCX)…..Optional

As using GM-270 CF GPS Receiver in a RV car, truck or bus, it might receive poor

signals through limited view to the sky. Replace the foldable antenna with the active one to

get better satellite signals. Windshields with heavy tinted or likewise may interfere with

signal receiving. An active antenna then becomes essential.

2.2 Software Interface

The GPS-270 interface protocol is based on the National Marine Electronics Association's NMEA 0183 ASCII

interface specification, which is defined in NMEA 0183, Version 2.2 and the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime

Services (RTCM Recommended Standards For Differential Navstar GPS Service, Version 2.1, RTCM Special Committee

No.104).

2.2.1 NMEA Transmitted Messages

The GPS-270PS supported by SiRF Technology Inc. also outputs data in NMEA-0183 format as defined by the

National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA), Standard.

The default communication parameters for NMEA output are 4800 baud, 8 data bits, stop bit, and no parity.

1.SiRF Technology Inc. does not support magnetic declination. All “course over ground” data are geodetic

WGS84 directions.

2.2.2 RTCM Received Data

The default communication parameters for DGPS Input are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, stop bit, and no parity. Position

accuracy of less than 5 meters can be achieved with the GPS-270 by using Differential GPS (DGPS) real-time

pseudo-range correction data in RTCM SC-104 format, with message types 1,2, or 9. As using DGPS receiver with

different communication parameters, GPS-270 may decode the data correctly to generate accurate messages and save them

in battery-back SRAM for later computing.

3. Functional Test

◆Install Guide：

1. Install GPSViewer.exe from PC to your PDA(Microsoft Pocket PC OS or alike).

(1) Install Microsoft ActiveSync to your PC, refer to your Pocket PC manual for installation

procedure.

(2) Setup your Pocket PC cradle to Desktop PC UART port. The Microsoft ActiveSync will detect

your Pocket PC automatically.

(3) Double Click the GpsViewer.exe on your PC, then GpsViewer.exe program will install

automatically.
