New GPS Receiver

Posted in All, Tech at 7:16 pm by Rodfather

I just got the Wintec WBT-200 GPS receiver in the mail today.  It’s really small.  About the size of a normal car alarm remote.

I did a test of the data logging.  It comes with this G Tool software to configure the receiver.  You can set how it logs the data.  I set it for Auto Log based on speed.  I guess the rate at which it logs a point is based on how fast you’re going.  You can load or erase the logged data and export it to many different file formats including Google Earth’s .kmz format.

I drove around the block and dumped the data to a google earth file.  From the picture, you can see it records the date/time, speed, and altitude along with the gps coordinates.

It’s suppose to be able to record up to 12680 points.

    For this, I used it by itself since it records the tracks in its internal memory. Then when I came back, I plugged it into my laptop and extracted the points with the included software and dumped to google earth.
