The GPS module designed to support the GALILEO system, which is currently being developed by
European authorities. The capability of receiving GALILEO L1 signals will provide increased coverage and
even better positioning accuracy.
The CE-500 system supports a Microsoft GPS locator engine for automatic GPS data management as
well as direct access to the receiver communication port and control functions. For more details on GPS
receiver software management, refer to the Developers Guide.
