Compact Flash GPS Receiver BC-337
Compact
Flash GPS Receiver utilizing the New SiRFIII 20-Channel Chipset
WAAS Enabled. Unlike
traditional GPS receivers which require separate antennas or wires,
the WAAS enabled BC-337 is an integrated receiver with a built-in
patch antenna designed to fit directly into the Compact Flash
or PCMCIA slot. The BC-337 was designed in SiRF Star III with
wireless consumer applications in mind; it will give accurate
readings from up to 20 channels. The BC-337 has an exceptional
accuracy of WAAS which makes it ideal for detailed turn-by-turn
mapping. The BC-337 is an inexpensive, flexible alternative to
traditional navigation systems. The BC-337 is truly transportable.
Insert it into your PDA and place it in a convenient spot in your
car and enjoy the benefits of using your additional mapping software
for intelligent route calculation and voice-prompted, turn-by-turn
navigation instructions.
