Parrot CK3300 Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit with GPS
Posted by Pat Logsdon in "HARDWARE" @ 04:00 PM
"Based on the Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth handsfree car kit, the CK3300 has the added GPS functionality, With its quality built-in GPS receiver, CK3300 adds navigation functions to the benefits of the CK3100 kit. The navigation functionality of the CK3300 is powered by the Fastrax iTrax02 OEM GPS receiver. The iTrax02 is a 12-channel GPS receiver, enabling continuous tracking down to very low signal levels, with support for assisted GPS (A-GPS). It enables the driver to access wirelessely NMEA-0183 standard GPS data via Bluetooth, while providing handsfree functionality. GPS monitoring messages such as number of satellites active or detected, geographical coordinates, speed, and heading can be displayed on the kit's LCD screen."
I haven't heard anything about the iTrax02 chipset, but the specs seem decent, and I'm all for packing more functionality into existing devices. Is anyone interested in this? Has anyone used any of Parrot's products in the past? What are your thoughts?
