Foldable Compact Size:

With very smart hinge design, HI-303N can folded from 180° to 0° to

accommodate the best satellite receiving angle. You can adjust HI-305N

in best angle with your mobile device on the dashboard so that the

external antenna will not needed. Also, you don't need to face the

mobile device display to the sky for better receiving angle.

Total GPS solution:

On the side of HI-305N,

there is a SD memory

slot. User can insert the

SD memory card

containing the mapping

software so that the GPS

data and the map data

can be accessed

simultaneously via the

Compact Flash interface

from the host device like,

PDA, laptop PC, etc.,.

After the proper driver installed, with the SD memory card inserted,

as soon as user plug the Compact Flash interface, there will be a

folder created from host device.

Beside using it as a complete GPS solution, HI-305N can also be a SD

card reader in CF interface. One can store any file into any standard

SD memory card and the file can be read or write via the Compact

Flash interface.

3.1 HI-305N Introductions

HI-305N is a GPS receiver with Compact Flash type I / mini-1394

interfaces and built-in active antenna for high sensitivity to tracking

signal. Based on the Numerix Ultra low power consumption chip set

and supports all functions (Single Sat updates in reduced visibility,

Superior urban canyon performance, Foliage Lock for weak signal

tracking, etc.). HI-305N is well suited to system integration and users

who use any kinds of mobile devices, such as, PDA, notebook PC,

Tablet PC, etc. It satisfies a wide variety of applications for car

navigation, personal navigation or touring devices, tracking and

marine navigation purpose. Users can simply plug it into a PDA or

other type of handheld PC running with suitable mapping and

routing software for navigation.

By counecting different

optional connecting

cables, HI-305N can be

all kinds of wired GPS

receiver solutions.

4.2 External Antenna

Basically, you don't need external antenna to perform GPS

positioning with HI-305N since it already build-in active antenna.

HI-305N can receive good satellite signal without external antenna

even using in car dashboard or side window. The only condition that

you need external antenna is when HI-305N can not directly "see"

the sky, For instance, when you are in the middle of a car, or any

environments that GPS signal is blocked, the external GPS antenna

will help to receive better GPS signal.

Plug the external antenna with MMCX connector to the plug on

the side of HI-305N. Place the magnetic external antenna on the

roof of the car or outdoor open-space, and make sure place it in

correct direction. That is, the side with magnetic is the bottom side,

and the upper side must face to sky in order to receive better signal.

Notice:

Hold the antenna connector while you plug the external antenna

into HI-305N or unplug the external antenna from HI-305N. Do not

pull the cable line.

4. System

HI-305N GPS supports plug and play.

Using Compact Flash Interface with PDA:

1. Plug in the CF part into your PDA equipped with Compact Flash

interface.

2. Running the suitable mapping/navigation software and select

the correct COM port & baud rate: 4800, N, 8, 1.

Usually, the COM port is COM 2~COM 10 depending on the PDA

type.

User can use the testing program provided with the package to

detect the COM port that HI-305N is using.

5. Installation

INSTALLATION

Driver installations:

There is a small CD included along with every standard package.

The CD contains certain test program and all related driver.

Using the HI-305N in GPS applications, the user won't need install

any driver except for the following circumstances:

1. USB driver: When use HI-305N in G-mouse mode with USB

connecting cable and use with the laptop PC's USB port, please

install the USB driver

before using it.

2. PCMCIA driver: When

use HI-305N in

Compact Flash

interface via CF-

PCMCIA adaptor from

the laptop PC's PCMCIA

port, please install the

PCMCIA driver before

using it.

3. Compact Flash driver: When use HI-305N in Compact Flash

interface with the SD memory card inserted, please install the

driver when use HI-305N under both PDA or laptop PC's Compact

Flash interface.

6.1 ONE-PULSE-PER-SECOND (1PPS) OUTPUT

The one-pulse-per-second output is provided for applications

requiring precise timing measurements. The output pulse is 1usec in

duration. Rising edge of the output pulse is accurate to +/-1usec

with respect to the start of each GPS second. Accuracy of the one-

pulse-per-second output is maintained only when the GPS receiver

has valid position fix.

The 1PPS output is always generated when the GPS receiver is

powered-on. Proper adjustment of the 1PPS output to align with the

GPS second requires calculation of the receiver clock offset and

clock drift-rate as part of the position-velocity-time (PVT) solution.

When enough satellite signals are received to generate valid

position fixes, the 1PPS output is adjusted to align with the GPS

second in several seconds. When the 1PPS output is brought in sync

with the GPS second, the 1PPS Valid Signal on the I/O pin becomes

active (HIGH); when the 1PPS output is not yet in sync with the GPS

second, the 1PPS Valid Signal remains inactive (LOW).

As long as enough satellite signals are received to generate valid

position fixes, the 1PPS output remains synchronized to the GPS

second, and the 1PPS Valid Signal remains active. If signal blockage

prevents the receiver from generating valid position fix, the 1PPS

output will drift away from the GPS second and the 1PPS Valid

Signal will become inactive. Upon re-acquiring enough satellites to

generate consecutive valid position fixes, the 1PPS Valid Signal will

become active again, signaling that the 1PPS output is again

synchronized with the GPS second.

For best stable operation of the 1PPS signal, it is to be operated in

static environment having clear view of the sky.

6. GPS Technical Data

6.2 SOFTWARE INTERFACE

This section describes the details of the serial port commands

through which the HI-305N GPS module is controlled and

monitored. The serial port commands allow users to set the receiver

parameters, configure output message type, and retrieve status

information. The baud rate and protocol of the host COM port must

match the baud rate and protocol of the GPS receiver serial port for

commands and data to be successfully transmitted and received.

The default receiver protocol is 4800bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and

none parity.

6.3 NMEA OUTPUT MESSAGE SPECIFICATION

The HI-305N supports NMEA-0183 output format as defined by the

National Marine Electronics Association (http://www.nmea.org).

The currently supported NMEA messages for GPS applications are:

6.4 NMEA Messages

The serial interface protocol is based on the National Marine

Electronics Association's NMEA 0183 ASCII interface specification.

This standard is fully define in "NMEA 0183, Version 3.01" The

standard may be obtained from NMEA, www.nmea.org
