GPS Receiver and USB Cable - Microsoft
Pharos GPS-360 GPS Receiver for PC and Mac
Microsoft Pharos' iGPS-360 convertible
receiver is a small, slim and highly sensitive GPS receiver that
connects to your PC and Mac via the included USB cable. With third
party mapping software such as Microsoft Streets & Trips you can
now accurately view your position in real time on your laptop, tablet
or ultra-mobile PC. For Mac users the GPS receiver works in Parallels
Desktop without rebooting into Windows so you can use Front Row for a
more driver-friendly iTunes interface.
The innovative iGPS-360
uses Pharos’ integrated
Global Positioning
System receiver and antenna design, and SiRF/Star-II LP chipset and
architecture and which tracks 12 GPS satellites simultaneously. The
SiRF/Star-II LP’s 12-channel tracking capability gives the Pharos GPS
receiver superior performance, enabling fast GPS signal acquisition and
reacquisition, and optimum response in dynamic applications such as
quickly moving vehicles, as well as in harsh signal environments such
as foliage and urban canyons. Combined with its ultra-compact design,
WAAS capability, and its universal connectivity, the iGPS-360 presents
users with a cost effective, high performance portable navigation
capability for any type of mobile computing device.
