1.3 OVERVIEW 
The GPS 10x product is a high sensitivity SiRFstarIII
TM
 GPS receiver with WAAS capability, a removable 
rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and Bluetooth
® wireless technology capability. The GPS 10x tracks up to 
12 satellites at a time while providing fast time-to-first-fix, one-second navigation updates, and low power 
consumption. This generation of GPS sensors adds the capability of FAA Wide Area Augmentation System 
(WAAS) differential GPS. The GPS 10x’s far-reaching capability meets the sensitivity requirements of 
land navigation as well as the dynamics requirements of high-performance aircraft. 
The GPS 10x design uses the latest technology and high-level circuit integration to achieve superior 
performance while minimizing space and power requirements. All critical components of the system 
including the GPS RF/IF receiver hardware and the GPS digital baseband are designed and manufactured 
by Garmin to ensure the quality and capability of the GPS. The hardware capability combined with 
software intelligence makes the GPS 10x easy to integrate and use for laptop/tablet PC, PDA, and smart 
phone applications by incorporating a Class 2 Bluetooth module within the unit. 
The GPS 10x product is designed to withstand rugged operating conditions. This complete GPS receiver 
requires no additional components to be supplied by an OEM or system integrator. A removable 
rechargeable lithium-ion battery and 12 VDC charging adapter are provided with the receiver. The only 
requirement is a clear view of the GPS satellites. Internal FLASH memory allows the GPS to retain critical 
data such as satellite orbital parameters, last-known position, date and time. End user interfaces such as 
keyboards and displays are the responsibility of the application designer. 
1.4 FEATURES 
•  Integrated Bluetooth® (Class 2) wireless technology module for communication with a mobile 
device. 
•  High sensitivity SiRFstarIII
TM
 GPS receiver uses up to 12 satellites for fast, accurate positioning 
and low power consumption. 
•  Differential DGPS capability using real-time WAAS corrections yielding position errors of less 
than 3 meters. 
•  Compact, rugged design ideal for applications with minimal space. Receiver position information 
can be displayed directly on a chartplotter or laptop/tablet PC, PDA, or smart phone with 
Bluetooth wireless technology capability. 
•  User initialization is not required. Once installed, unit automatically produces navigation data after 
position fix is acquired. 
•  User-configurable navigation mode (2-dimensional or 3-dimensional fix). 
•  Configurable for binary format carrier phase data output. 
•  FLASH-based program and non-volatile memory. New software revisions available through Web 
site download. Non-volatile memory does not require battery backup. 
•  Removable rechargeable main power battery.  
•  The real-time clock can run for up to 2 months after the battery enters a low battery mode. 
•  Configurable parameters include expected position, current time and date, preferred position fix 
type (2D, 3D, or automatic), and velocity filter time constant (none, automatic, or your choice 
between 2 and 255 seconds).  
•  Four anti-skid mounts for flat surface placement. 
•  Includes 12 VDC Cigarette Lighter Charging Adapter. 
•  Auto Power On Mode: When in the Off mode and connected to a switched 12 V DC external 
power source, the GPS 10x automatically turns On when external power is turned on. (example: a 
cigarette lighter controlled by the vehicle ignition switch.)
