Product Part I.D. EM-318-02 Product Description: EM-318-02 is a compact, high performance, and low power consumption GPS engine board. By elimination the on-board GPS patch antenna, the EM-318-02 be engineered into tighter spaces where an external antenna would be more practical. The EM-318-02 utilizes the SiRF GSC3f/LP chipset, which can track up to 20 satellites at a time and perform fast TTFF in low signal environments.

EM-318-02 Version 1.2.1 E.) LLA Navigation initialization ID:104 Parameters required to start using Lat/Lon/Alt This command is used to initialize the GPS module for a “Warm” start, providing real-time position (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude coordinates), clock offset, and time. This action enables the GPS receiver to search for the necessary satellite signals at the correct signal parameters.
