190-00516-00 GPS 10 Technical Specifications Rev. BPage 31.3 OVERVIEWThe GPS 10 product is a GPS receiver with WAAS capability, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, integralmagnetic base and Bluetooth wireless technology capability. Based on the proven technology found inother Garmin 12-channel GPS receivers, the GPS 10 tracks up to 12 satellites at a time while providing fasttime-to-first-fix, one-second navigation updates, and low power consumption. This generation of GPSsensors adds the capability of FAA Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) differential GPS. The GPS10ís far-reaching capability meets the sensitivity requirements of land navigation as well as the dynamicsrequirements of high-performance aircraft.The GPS 10 design uses the latest technology and high-level circuit integration to achieve superiorperformance while minimizing space and power requirements. All critical components of the systemincluding the GPS RF/IF receiver hardware and the GPS digital baseband are designed and manufacturedby Garmin to ensure the quality and capability of the GPS. The hardware capability combined withsoftware intelligence makes the GPS 10 easy to integrate and use for laptop/tablet PC, PDA, and smartphone applications by incorporating a Class 2 Bluetooth module within the unit.The GPS 10 product is designed to withstand rugged operating conditions and is waterproof to IEC 60529IPX7, immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. This complete GPS receiver requires no additionalcomponents to be supplied by an OEM or system integrator. An internal rechargeable lithium-ion batteryand 12 VDC charging adapter are provided with the receiver. The only requirement is a clear view of theGPS satellites. Internal FLASH memory allows the GPS to retain critical data such as satellite orbitalparameters, last-known position, date and time. End user interfaces such as keyboards and displays are theresponsibility of the application designer.1.4 FEATURES• Integrated Bluetooth (Class 2) wireless technology module for communication with a mobiledevice.• 12-channel GPS receiver tracks and uses up to 12 satellites for fast, accurate positioning and lowpower consumption.• Differential DGPS capability using real-time WAAS corrections yielding position errors of lessthan 3 meters.• Compact, rugged design ideal for applications with minimal space. Receiver position informationcan be displayed directly on a chartplotter or laptop/tablet PC, PDA, or smart phone withBluetooth wireless technology capability.• User initialization is not required. Once installed, unit automatically produces navigation data afterposition fix is acquired.• User-configurable navigation mode (2-dimensional or 3-dimensional fix).• Configurable for binary format carrier phase data output.• FLASH-based program and non-volatile memory. New software revisions available through Website download. Non-volatile memory does not require battery backup.• On-board rechargeable main power battery to maintain the real-time clock• The real-time clock can run for up to 2 months after the main battery enters a low battery mode.• Configurable parameters include expected position, current time and date, preferred position fixtype (2D, 3D, or automatic), and velocity filter time constant (none, automatic, or your choicebetween 2 and 255 seconds).• Magnetic mount for attachment to ferrous surfaces. Velcro adhesive backed patch for non-magnetic surfaces.• Includes 12 VDC Cigarette Lighter Charging Adapter.• Waterproof design allows continuous exposure to the prevailing weather conditions at mostlocations.• Auto Power On Mode: When in the Off mode and connected to a switched 12 V DC externalpower source, the GPS 10 automatically turns On when external power is turned on. (example: acigarette lighter controlled by the vehicle ignition switch.)
