The Garmin GPS 36 TracPak is a complete GPS receiver and embedded antenna
designed for a broad spectrum of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) system
applications. Based on the proven technology found in other Garmin 12channel
GPS receivers, the GPS 36 will track up to twelve satellites at a time while
providing one-second navigation updates and low power consumption. Its
far-reaching capability meets the sensitivity requirements of land navigation as
well as the dynamics requirements of high-performance aircraft.
The GPS 36 TracPak design utilizes the latest technology and high-level circuit
integration to achieve superior performance while minimizing space and power
requirements. Utilizing Garmin's own proprietary chipset, all critical
components of the system including the RF/IF receiver hardware and the digital
baseband are designed and manufactured by Garmin to ensure outstanding quality
and capability.
The GPS 36 TracPak is housed in a white, water-resistant case and designed to
withstand rugged operating conditions. While the GPS 36 TracPak is designed as a
"plug 'n play" GPS solution, the minimum system must provide a source of power
and a clear view of the GPS satellites. The system may communicate with the GPS
36 via two RS-232 compatible bi-directional communication channels. Internal
memory backup allows the GPS 36 to retain critical data such as satellite
orbital parameters, last position, date, and time. The GPS 36 TracPak also comes
with a thirty-foot interface cable.
Available Version:
GPS36 Attached 30 foot power/data cable with bare wire ends. Accepts power from
unregulated high voltage power supplies between 6 and 40 VDC. Asynchronous
serial data interfaces via 2 serial ports with true RS-232 voltage level
outputs.*
*All serial inputs are compatible with either true RS-232 or TTL/CMOS voltage
levels. Port 1 uses NMEA 0183 data format. Port 2 transmits binary position and
raw measurement data and receives RTCM SC-104 differential corrections data,
message types 1, 2, 3, and 9.
