Swiss positioning and wireless chip and module supplier 602 U-Blox has announced immediate availability of two new products equipped with the company's automotive dead reckoning (ADR) technology. Based on u-blox' tightly coupled Kalman Filter algorithm, the NEO-6V GPS module (pictured) and UBXG6010- SA-DR single chip deliver drop-in, self-calibrating GPS dead reckoning performance for high precision vehicle navigation systems.

ADR enables accurate positioning in areas of weak or no GPS satellite reception such as within tunnels and car park complexes. The products are ideal for first-mount as well as after-market navigation systems.

Automotive and standard grade versions are supported.
