  • Del Norte Technology Inc., Euless, Texas, has introduced the Model 2006 GPS system, one of the latest additions to its GPS product line.

    The 2006 is a 6-channel LI C/A code GPS receiver which comes with a built-in PC and rugged splashproof case. The system allows for flexible data logging and processing capabilities for almost any application.

    The system was designed primarily as a differential GPS mobile station.

    Included with the system is a built-in LCD display, support for external monitors, six userconfigurable RS 232 serial ports for flexible communications, internal logging memory and a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive.

    Also included is a software package for navigation and guidance, helmsman graphics, and user-selectable interfaces for a wide range of depth sounders.

    Del Norte has been in business for over 23 years and its products are marketed worldwide through 12 service centers.
