solar powered bluetooth GPS trip recorder
Jul 30, 2007 bluetooth, gps navigation, tracking

iBT-GPS Solar Bluetooth GPS Data Logger is a new product from Taiwanese Transystem Inc that should soon hit the shelves in U.S. iBT-GPS is a dual function device that can either record your trip info or act as a GPS receiver and pair via bluetooth with your handheld.
Thanks to its tiny solar panel this bluetooth GPS receiver can last 35+ hours on a single charge and can record 50,000 waypoints in its 8MB internal memory. It can record travel data based on three modes: by time, by distance or by speed – and thanks to its smart auto sleep and wake up mode it can always stay in power on standby.
iBT-GPS also comes with software to easily download your tracking data to your PC and display them in Google Earth. The software can also translate the data into many standard formats such as NMEA-0183 GGA, GSA, GSV, RMC, VTG, GLL.
iBT-GPS uses the 32 channel MTK GPS chipset. We have no info on pricing or availability just yet.

Een beter alternatief is de Qstarz BT Q1200! Ook met MTK chipset.

Solar power for a GPS is indeed fitting because we have to use the GPS outdoors (like in our cars) anyway. So why not tap a little from the abundance of the universe — the sun — and charge our GPS. Clever invention!
