The unit measurements are: height, 45 millimeters (1.77 inches), width 114 millimeters (4.49 inches), length 160 millimeters (6.3 inches), and weight 0.54 kilgrams (1.19 pounds). The unit is intended for professional mapping, guidance, machine control, and navigation applications. Integrated L-Band tracking powers down when not in use, and OmniSTAR subscriber access permits remote activation via satellite. The R220 incorporates Hemisphere GPS’s COAST technology, which maintains accurate solutions for 40 minutes or more after loss of a differential signal, according to the company. A position output rate of 10 Hz is standard but up to 20 times per second is available, as is raw GPS data output. The unit uses a standard USB Flash drive for data logging.
