“What are the options for GPS enabling my mobile device?†(cell phone, PDA, notebook etc) is a question consumers are beginning to ask as applications for GPS become more diverse and pervasive. Spectec have some options for consideration with their SD and miniSD GPS receiver cards. A much appreciated feature of these GPS cards is the built-in microSD card slot which solves the obvious problem of mobile devices with only one SD expansion slot.
There are four SD GPS card models including the SDG-810 SD GPS receiver and SDG-811 miniSD receiver and the SDG-812 SD Bluetooth GPS receiver and the SDG-813 miniSD Bluetooth GPS receiver. All models have the built-in microSD card slot.
All models are equipped with the most recent 20 channel ultra high sensitive (excellent low signal level reception) SiRF StarIII GPS chipsets.
