The GXR-GPS, now a legacy product, was a state of the art GPS receiver module which employed GARMIN GPS-18:  a complete GPS receiver and embedded antenna designed for a broad spectrum of system applications. 

The GPS-18 tracked up to twelve satellites at a time while providing one-second navigation updates and low power consumption. Its far-reaching capability met the sensitivity requirements of seismic applications.

The GPS-18 design utilised the latest technology and highlevel circuit integration to achieve superior performance while minimising space and power requirements.

The GXR-GPS was housed in a water-resistant case and was designed to withstand rugged operating conditions. The host system could communicate with the GXR-GPS via a dedicated, compatible, bi-directional communication channel. Internal memory backup allowed the GXR-GPS to retain critical data such as satellite orbital parameters, last position, date, and time.
