Smart
SkyMaster: Hard Mount GPS Antenna/Receiver Combo
Discontinued
The Smart SkyMaster allows a simple, low
cost, yet effective means of providing GPS location data to a computer or laptop
running one of the many commercially available mapping programs or GIS software.
If
you find the display on a standard mapping GPS to be not large enough to be viewed
conveniently while driving your RV or other vehicle, or if you need the specialised
features of your favourite moving map or GIS program, consider the advantages
of a Smart SkyMaster and laptop combination.
Smart
SkyMaster can be used in any application which utilizes GPS information for navigation,
as a precise timing source, or to capture and create Geographic Information Systems.
Any computer running a mapping program that accepts NMEA 0183 format GPS data
can receive output from the Smart SkyMaster.
The
Smart SkyMaster GPS receiver is designed as a centre mount unit
with a hex fastener for permanent installation. Power can be supplied
by the included cigarette lighter adapter or from the PS2 port
of a laptop. GPS
