Features

Supports GPS, QZSS and SBAS

In addition to high position accuracy, GV-86 achieves superior performance as regular GPS Receiver Modules such as fast TTFF, highly improved Noise Tolerance

Advanced DR Performance

Achieved DR performance in car navigation systems with a stand-alone GPS module
Offsets misalignments and position jumps of GPS, complements position during GPS signal outages
Dead Reckoning positioning accuracy can be improved with feedback from the navigation application (Map Matching Feedback function)

Emphasis on usability of Dead Reckoning, no need for sensor processing on host CPU

Autonomous, self-calibrating, tightly coupled Dead-Reckoning.
Dead Reckoning calculation is performed on the module and the results outputted in NMEA data

Link to the Smartphone(Apple CarPlay, Google Android Auto)

Ideal for the solutions to achieve highly-accurate Dead Reckoning positioning like car navigation system with CarPlay and Android Auto.
Try and see the performance of Dead Reckoning with Android Application connecting to the GV-86 Evaluation Kit VN-861.

Auto Orientation Function

Flexible installation with original axial correction

Sensors can be mounted sideways, on inclined surfaces, upside-down
Adapted for installation on inclined surface of the dashboards

Designed for real-life usage

Evaluates driving patterns under actual environment

Adapted for various cases causing large position errors such as “turn table”, “low-speed U-turn” etc.

Fast TTFF

Hot start: <1 sec

High Positioning Rate

Configurable position output update rate up to 10Hz (10 times per sec.)

Improved Noise Tolerance

Reduces effects of internal and external noise

Android™ driver and API

Furuno can provide Android driver and API, which can be used with Furuno's GNSS chip/module for Android application developers.
Android driver may help to reduce the development cost to install the GNSS chip/module in the navigation devices or the automotive devices based on Android.
