2.3j Solar Power
Solar powered GPS comes in two forms: with a rechargeable battery and without.
•
Solar with rechargeable battery:
With this configuration, ultra-light weight
solar GPS devices are possible. It uses a solar panel to charge a battery that in turn
allows you to get GPS positions during the night while relying on solar power.
There are two primary programming settings: day mode and night mode. With
this configuration, you can set your GPS to acquire fixes at a different interval
depending on the time of day.
•
Solar without a rechargeable battery:
With this option, it is not possible to
control the time or multitude of your GPS fix attempts. Every time when there is
enough solar power to do so, the GPS will attempt a fix. Because of the rapid
charging, it is cable of getting more than three times the amount of fixes as the
rechargeable battery option. Over the course of one day, in good sun, you may be
able to log over 250 positions.
2.3k Collar Auto
Collar Auto is an additional program that is not part of the standard GPS with remote
download package. This program is designed to automatically download the GPS data
from your Quantum GPS devices without the user being present. It will follow the
download schedule you create and retrieve the GPS data when a collar is within range.
