Evermore DL-200BT
1. Introduction
Apart from GPS devices, Evermore also manufactures GPS loggers. These are stand alone devices that can log your route, and afterwards be used to show valuable information through software like Google Earth. We had the chance to test Evermore's flagship, the DL-200BT, a dual device since it is a BT GPS and a data logger at the same time.
- Evermore DL-200BT
The DL-200BT has a wireless interface and uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to record vehicle movement, speed, route and duration of stops. The DL-200BT is driven by a 12-channel EverMore chipset, capable of storing up to 25,000 waypoints with WAAS/Egnos support and BT compatible interface.
This information can be displayed on GIS mapping with MapInfo format or data can be downloaded to a P.C. so the user can view vehicle activity in more precise detail. Additionally, the device can be used for navigation as a BT enabled GPS device.
