If your application requires a simple GPS and antenna in a rugged weatherproof enclosure, this is the unit for you. Color coded wires and a detailed wiring diagram describe exactly how to connect the unti to a computer, PDA, or other device such as a Yield Monitor.

The 12-channel receiver allows for continuous tracking of all visible satellites. And it's WAAS capable, which means it can provide position accuracy of less than 3 meters. This accuracy is possible without the use of an external DGPS beacon receiver, but the unit can be configured to accept beacon DGPS signals for limited sky-view environments where WAAS is inappropriate. The GPS 16 also offers excellent EMI/RFI performance for easy integration into systems that will be operated near mobile computing devices and wireless communications equipment.

The unit will work 'out-of-the-box' for most applications, however the internal firmware can be flash updated and the user can select a different set of NMEA sentences for output if this is necessary.
