Columbus P-1 Professional GPS Data Logger
Columbus P-1 Professional GPS Data Logger
This product has been discontinued. Please order the replacement product Columbus P-1 Mark II instead.
P-1 adapts to any outdoor environment that that are not suitable for GPS devices, whether in ice, frost, rain, snow, or on desert, Gobi, beach... P-1 is built with the highest protection of its breed* for all-weather operation, providing normal logging even with prolonged exposure to high humidity and dust. P-1 also works in an extended range of temperature from -10°C to 50°C, to ensure normal use in high latitudes and tropical areas. *IP66 compliant. Always tighten its rubber cover at the bottom before use.
Your newly delivered P-1 guarantees more than 50 hours of operation*, enough for a whole week's work (logging 10 hours per day, 5 days per week) and outperforming any competitor available on the market (according to the statistics in October 2018). *Continuous logging at 10Hz and 20°C environmental temperature.
P-1 has unique dual function buttons, and the function button can be defined as multiple functions according to your requirement. You can pause/continue logging at any time! The start and stop can avoid a large amount of redundant data and optimize the track information. It is also possible to add two different types of POI.
P-1 is automatically powered On/Off with the vehicle, no need for manual management. In the Spy mode, P-1 enters a silent and light off working state and can increase the endurance to 7 days.
P-1 has a built-in motion sensor. When motion is detected, it can be awakened and start logging immediately. An ordinary GPS data logger will still work after the vehicle stops,in such case, it will consume more energy and produce unwanted waypoints data. When P-1 is static or has lost satellite signal for over 5 minutes, it will automatically enter standby state to maximally save energy. The intelligent design will optimize the track data for easy information organization.
In the future, we will continue to improve the product in time and update the firmware of P-1. You can update the firmware on the official website to ensure that the device is in top condition. The update steps do not require special tools, it is quick and easy to operate. |
