Pharos iGPS 500
Pharos has introduced a new tiny and powerful (as they claim) GPS receiver based on the SiRFstarIII architecture, the Pharos iGPS-500. This new GPS receiver was designed specifically for Microsoft’s Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPC).
According to Pharos PR:
Pharos’ iGPS-500’s unique modular design allows users to add GPS positioning and navigation capability via the USB, CompactFlash, SDIO port or BluetoothTM wireless connection, making UMPC an excellent companion for business travelers and everyone on the go.
The iGPS-500 features the highly sensitive SiRFstarIII GPS architecture. With its rapid time-to-first-fix and high sensitivity, the iGPS-500 is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of wireless and handheld LBS applications, and provides superior location performance, both indoors and out. The iGPS-500 works seamlessly with Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006, AutoRoute 2006, and MapPoint software as does its predecessor, the iGPS-360.
The iGPS-500 is expected to start shipping in April.
