GPS module available?

Is there any module available for embedding a GPS receiver in a product?

Hi All,

What about the Trimble Lassen SQ. Only 26x26x6mm and uses 100mW of power

Have a look at my page at http://www.embedtr> Is there any module available for embedding a GPS receiver in a product?

LOTS AND LOTS of them.

Tanner Electronics, a very nice electronics surplus place in Dallas, had a bunch of them last time I was in there.

Here's a link to some.

I used the TF-30 in a product recently.

I've worked with the UBLOX MS-1E. IIRC, they are about $125 each. They require 3.3V power and a CMOS-level serial port.

short answer:- YES

Slightly longer answer Two variants that I have used - ublox TIM module

and the compatible, new, lower power variant from Falcom (JP7 part)

both of these are effectively GPS rf in, async serial out (NMEA or SiRF binary message formats) and are 1 inch square.

Thanks, very helpful! What sort of cost? (I'm just looking for perspective here.)

There is an Indian company by name Accord software & systems who make GPS receivers of world class quality & at low price.I work in this company.Visit our website.Its accord-soft.com Raghavendra

We are designing in the Lassen SKII module, which is similar. See:

We selected this because it is more rugged, intended for vehicle applications. It has a more robust (SMB) antenna connector. It's US$80 in small quantities.

Hi All,

I think it's time for an update.

Where is the Trimble Lassen SQ, Laipac TF10, Laipac TF30 ?

Hi Wayne,

My primary interset is for receivers which allow carrier phase processing. The Lassen receivers unfortunately do not fall in this class. Great receivers otherwise.

AFAK all Laipac receivers use SiRF chipsets. So they will be pretty comparable to the SiRF based receivers in my list.

Thanks for your comment.

Hello,

I hope this is not considered too tangential to the original posting, but when BG Micro was selling the Trimble SV6 units, I got a bit "trigger happy" and bought more than I needed.

I'd like to sell the extra units I have (I think three) at the price I paid ($25)+S&H per unit.

If anyone is interested, please e-mail me:

There should be two 'o's after yah...
