Stars Nav - BTS-100

The BTS-100 is a compact, in-vehicle Bluetooth-enabled GPS receiver engineered for drivers and integrators who need a reliable, Plaspy compatible source of position and POI alerts. Combining high-sensitivity GNSS reception with an integrated speed camera (POI) reminder, the BTS-100 streams real-time location and basic telemetry (longitude, latitude, speed, UTC) over Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) to smartphones, PDAs, and aftermarket navigation units that accept an external GPS input.

Designed for long hours on the road, the BTS-100 delivers up to 22 hours of continuous operation on its internal 1100 mAh Li‑ion battery and includes smart motion-sensing power management to conserve energy. POI databases are user-configurable via the supplied PC utility and mini USB interface, making the BTS-100 a practical external GPS tracker for Plaspy-based real-time tracking, fleet management workflows, and drivers who want local audible and visual speed camera warnings.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible Bluetooth SPP GPS streaming — feeds longitude, latitude, speed and UTC for real-time tracking and telemetry.
• Integrated speed camera (POI) reminder — audible speaker and LED alerts help drivers stay aware of camera locations and speed limits.
• Long runtime and smart power management — internal 1100 mAh Li‑ion battery (Japanese cells) with up to 22 hours continuous use and motion-activated on/off.
• High sensitivity GNSS — built-in high-gain antenna, –152 dBm sensitivity, 16-channel All‑in‑View tracking for fast cold/warm/hot starts.
• Configurable POI storage and updates — optional 4/8/16 MB flash configurations and POI upload/download via mini USB and PC utility.
• Flexible trace intervals — configurable GPS trace logging from 1 second up to 30 minutes to suit real-time or periodic telemetry needs.
• Compact, plug-and-play design for easy in-vehicle placement and integration with aftermarket navigation or Plaspy-enabled systems.

How It Works with Plaspy

The BTS-100 supplies Plaspy with a consistent, NMEA-like data stream over Bluetooth SPP. Once paired to a Plaspy-enabled device or gateway that accepts external GPS input, the BTS-100 delivers position and speed updates used by Plaspy for map visualization, alerts, and reporting. POI files updated via mini USB can be used locally on the unit for in-cab warnings while Plaspy continues to retain historical telemetry and fleet-level insights.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates (longitude, latitude, speed, UTC) over Bluetooth SPP for Plaspy ingestion.
• Local speed camera (POI) alerts with audible and LED notifications — supplementing Plaspy alerts for driver safety.
• POI upload/download via mini USB and PC utility — manage camera databases and transfer to the device.
• Configurable trace intervals (1 s to 30 min) lets Plaspy collect high-frequency telemetry or conserve bandwidth with periodic updates.
• Motion-sensing power management for long-term in-vehicle use; pairs well with Plaspy fleet management to reduce maintenance downtime.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Aftermarket navigation enhancement — provide a reliable external GPS input to older navigation units and smartphones that accept external GPS.
• Fleet drivers requiring speed camera alerts — local POI reminders reduce speeding events and complement Plaspy fleet reporting.
• Portable Plaspy-compatible GPS source for field users — rapid pairing to mobile devices for temporary installations or shared vehicles.
• Driver assistance and anti-theft location reporting — deliver continuous position telemetry to Plaspy so fleet managers can locate vehicles in real time.
• Integrators needing a Bluetooth SPP GPS feed — ideal where classic Bluetooth serial GPS input is required by navigation or tracking equipment.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The BTS-100 pairs practicality with efficiency: its high-sensitivity GNSS, long battery life, and Bluetooth SPP output make it an easy-to-deploy Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for real-time tracking and telemetry. For fleet management teams and drivers who want reliable speed camera reminders alongside Plaspy’s centralized reporting, the BTS-100 delivers local POI alerts plus steady position streaming. While the device focuses on GPS and POI functionality rather than vehicle-specific telemetry such as fuel monitoring, ignition inputs, or immobilizer control, it integrates well with broader telematics setups—Plaspy can combine BTS-100 location data with other vehicle sensors and systems to provide a complete picture of fleet health and security.
