1. Introduction 1.1 Overview The HOLUX GM-82 Engine Board is a total solution GPS receiver, designed based on SiRF star II Architecture. This positioning application meets strict needs such as car navigation, mapping, surveying, agriculture and so on. Only clear view of sky and certain power supply are necessary to the unit.
If significant inaccuracy exists in the initial data, or the orbital data is obsolete, it may take more time to achieve a navigation solution. The GM-82 Auto-locate feature is capable of automatically determining a navigation solution without intervention from the host system.
GM-82 User’s manual 2.2 Navigation After the acquisition process is complete, the GM-82 sends valid navigation information over output channels. These data include: 1) Latitude/longitude/altitude 2) Velocity 3) Date/time 4) Error estimates 5) Satellite and receiver status 2.3 Manufacturing Default: Datum: WGS84.

TXA: Main Serial Output. This output provides navigation data to user written software. TXB: For user’s application (not currently used). 3. PBRESEN: This pin provides an active-low reset input to the GM-82. Activation of this pin will reset and start acquisition process. It may be left open if not utilized.
GM-82 User’s manual 4. Software Interface The GPS-82 interface protocol is based on the National Marine Electronics Association's NMEA 0183 ASCⅡinterface specification, which is defined in NMEA 0183, Version 2.2 and the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM Recommended Standards For Differential Navstar GPS Service, Version 2.1, RTCM Special Committee No.104).
