This GPS receiver works better than the one with SiRF III that I have. It's so sensitive that now I can leave the GPS receiver in the glove box to avoid it from overheating. I haven't try A-GPS yet bu... By MP on 6/21/2008 11:37:56 PM

WondeX BT-100Y Bluetooth GPS receiver puts all competition behind!

Thanks to the 54 channels chipset from SkyTraq, the WondeX BT-100Y 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!

WondeX BT-100Y 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.

Key Advantages
  • 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 WondeX BT-100Y enters into sleep mode (bluetooth is also off).

    Once the WondeX BT-100Y 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.
WondeX BT-100Y 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 WondeX BT-100Y)

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.

Applications
  • Automotive
  • Fleet management/Asset tracking
  • Personal/Portable Navigation (PDA, Pocket PC etc.)
  • Location Based Services enabled devices
  • Sports and Recreation- Geographic Surveying
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) features explain:

With the included PC application called miniAGPS, GPS Data (ephemeris data expires every 7 day) will be downloaded from a AGPS Server (free of charge) and transferred to the WondeX BT-100Y receiver wirelessly via Bluetooth.

With AGPS data loaded to the WondeX BT-100Y, it knows approximately where it is located when it starts looking for the GPS satellites.

It knows which sats should be in view and which sats to look for. With this AGPS, the time-to-first-fix (TTFF) is dramatically shortened from minutes to under 5 seconds!

The limitation is your downloaded GPS data will expire in every 7 day. Once expired, you could simply re-download. Otherwise, your acquisition time without AGPS is around 30 secs, which is still faster than most SiRF StarIII and MTK based Bluetooth GPS receivers.

Download: miniAGPS PC application (Easier to use) (Pocket PC and Java version coming soon).
