*The HAICOM HI-303MMF CF card GPS, is a folding GPS receiver and embedded antenna designed to slot in to any computing device, with EITHER
1. a CF Card slot, or
2. a PCMCIA slot, or
3. a USB or PSII port.

The Hi303 is supplied as a SirfIII chip (see separate page), or an LP type, S type, or E type. We sell each type for the same price. They are all MMF folding types, but the model name is slightly different. You can also purchase the Hi-305 series which has an additional SD memory slot.

The LP type Hi303MMF has a special "Sirf" low power chip, so if you particularly want less power drain, use this. This unit may not work as well in tough situations (tall buildings, forest etc).

The S type Hi303S has a "Sirf" chip with extra gain on the GPS signal, so may be better in tough situations (tall buildings, forest etc).

The E tupe Hi 303E is an "Evermore" chipset with all round performance.

Power is supplied by the PDA/computer slot or the cable. It is ideal for use with a laptop computer, or a PDA, such as Palm, Pocket PC or Windows CE device.*

The HI-303 will track up to twelve satellites at a time, with low power consumption. Internal memory backup allows the HI-303 to use recently stored GPS data, to speed acquisition time.

Hi-303 standard package:
external antenna with magnet mount plate, 5.5 metre coax cable. carry case.
Haicom USB to PS2 female cable.
PS2 male to USB (computer type) cable.

PCMCIA adaptor sleeve.
computer disc with development files.
user manual. Total package price $330 + GST
Option: PS2 male to serial 9 pin DB cable
Bluetooth slipper for wireless connection.

Don't be misled - computer retailers sell GPS without the external antenna, or the PCMCIA sleeve, or the carry case - so they appear to be much cheaper. We can do the same! Just type 303 in the search box at top right of this page, and you will get all the pricing options.
