CellGuide has rolled out its new small GPS module that measures a mere 0.21″ x 0.18″ x 0.04″, and can safely take over the “world’s smallest GPS chip” throne. It takes a different route from larger GPS receivers, as it will rely on the host device’s applications processor in order to convert its output into standard NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) format. Other features of this GPS module include an LNA (low-noise amplifier), SAW (surface acoustic wave) filter, LDO (low dropout) voltage regulator and additional passive components. Hopefully this will mean smaller GPS-enabled devices in the future.
