Introduction
The PASPORT GPS Position Sensor uses signals received from the Global Positioning System to determine its
latitude, longitude, altitude and horizontal velocity anywhere on earth. Use it alone or in conjunction with other
sensors for outdoor experiments in environmental science, physics, and other subjects.
Data from the GPS Position Sensor is relayed to a PASPORT interface such as the Xplorer GLX. You can view
and analyze the data on the GLX, or transfer it to a computer running DataStudio or My World GIS.
The Position Sensor is compatible with all PASPORT interfaces, but is most easily used with the Xplorer GLX.
The instructions in this manual assume that you are using an Xplorer GLX. See page 10 for additional informa-
tion on using other interfaces.
