GPS 18X HIGH-SENSITIVITY LVC PRODUCT DETAILS
Back to Top
The GPS 18x is a high-sensitivity GPS sensor targeted to OEM clients for use in automotive, fleet vehicle, and electronics applications where a small, highly accurate GPS receiver is needed.
This high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver is available in either asynchronous serial or USB 2.0 versions, and comes with an integrated magnetic base. The puck-like receiver is 2.4 inches in diameter and weighs just 3.5 ounces, making it an ideal solution in applications where space is at a premium.
The GPS 18 is offered in three different cable configurations:
A-style USB
,
DB-9 pin serial with 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter (PC)
, or
bare wire (LVC)
.
The
PC and LVC versions
both default to output data in the industry standard NMEA 0183 data format, but may also be user programmed to output data in the GARMIN proprietary format. The
USB version
produces data
ONLY
in the GARMIN proprietary format. This means that the OEM 18 USB can only function with the Garmin mapping software on a computer. A pre-bundled package is available which contains the
OEM 18 USB and the Garmin City Select USA Software
.
All three versions of the GPS 18 come complete with non-volatile memory for storage of configuration information, a real-time clock, and raw measurement output data for sophisticated customer applications. The LVC version additionally provides a pulse-per-second logic level output whose rising edge is aligned to the UTC second within 1 microsecond. The USB 2.0 full-speed version of the GPS18 is also compatible with USB 1.1 full-speed hosts.
NOTE:
The end of the Garmin OEM18XLVC now comes with a connector end that can attach to a CMOS (gps processor) for OEM applications. If required, the end can be removed to become a 'bare-wire' solution.

ALTITUDE LIMITATION COMPARED TO OTHER 18 MODELS
Provided by Ron Malinowski on Sep 20, 2008
These work great, but be aware they have a 60K altitude restriction, where as the other 18 models without the x designation can go higher for High Altitude balloons projects.

Back to Top
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
The OEM 18 GPS Series all require different input voltages (see list below):
•
18 USB
: 4.4 - 5.5 Vdc
•
18 PC
: 8 - 30* Vdc (Automotive supply from cigarette lighter jack)
•
18 LVC
: 4.0 - 5.5 Vdc
* It should be noted that the OEM 18 PC unit has a cigarette lighter adapter end that converts the 12V DC (from the cigarette lighter power source) to the input voltage required by the GPS unit. If you remove the cigarette lighter end and then hard wire the GPS to the 12V power source, you
WILL
burn out the unit.
