▪ Excellent sensitivity for urban canyon and foliage environments
▪ Operable from 3.3V, average tracking current is 45mA@3.3V; average acquisition current is 50mA@3.3V
▪ TCXO design
▪ NMEA-0183 compliant protocol/custom protocol
▪ SBAS (WAAS and EGNOS) support
▪ 4 Mbits Flash Memory
▪ SMT type with stamp holes
▪ Lead-free
▪ Dimension: 24.6+/-0.4(L) x 14+/-0.1(W) x 13.4+/-0.2(H) mm
