Magellan GG24-E2 GPS Board

GPS & GLONASS Seamless Integration
With the addition of GLONASS to its leading GPS technology, Magellan has expanded the availability, integrity and accuracy of global positioning tools. GG24TM receiver adds another satellite constellation, GLONASS, the Russian equivalent of GPS, to the solution for precise positioning.

The Magellan GG24 is the first 24-channel, all-in-view GPS+GLONASSTM receiver. Its revolutionary design allows smooth integration into a wide range of positioning applications on land, sea or in the air. Incorporating the GG24 is made easy through advanced methods of seamlessly combining GPS and GLONASS into a single position solution. The sophisticated blending of technologies is transparent while the GG24 uses all available satellites from both systems to obtain the best possible position information.

Increased Availability
One of the primary advantages of GPS+GLONASS is the increased satellite coverage. With satellites from the combined GPS and GLONASS constellations, there are many more visible satellites available for position computation. Thus, GPS+GLONASS is extremely beneficial in obstructed operating environments, such as in cities around buildings, mountainous areas, under tree cover, or other areas where much of the sky and many of the satellites can be blocked. To take advantage of the increased satellite availability, the GG24 has 12 channels for L1 GPS and 12 channels for L1 GLONASS, providing all-in-view tracking for both constellations.

Improved Integrity
By using GPS+GLONASS, users benefit from the integrity of two independently operated satellite positioning systems. With more satellites available, the constellation geometry is significantly improved, providing you with added confidence in the accuracy of the positioning solutions.

Evaluation Software
EvaluateTM software is available with the GG24 and provides visual displays of satellite information, receiver position and velocity, as well as data logging and analysis. It also enables direct communication with the receiver. Compatible with most Magellan professional receivers, the software runs on Windows® version 3.x Windows 95/98 and Windows NT platforms.

Take It For a Test-Drive
The GG24 Development Kit includes the GG24 and all necessary components to perform a comprehensive test drive. It contains a GG24 GPS board, the Evaluate software, power supply, ready-made interface cables, antenna, and manuals.
