GARMIN GPS 18x LVC Receiver

Overview


The GPS 18x is an OEM, high-sensitivity GPS sensor for use in automotive, fleet vehicle, and electronics applications that require a small, highly accurate GPS receiver.

Use in Small Spaces

This high-sensitivity, 12-parallel-channel, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver is available in CMOS-level serial or USB 2.0 full-speed versions and comes with an integrated magnetic base. The puck-like receiver is 2.4" (6.1cm) in diameter and weighs just a few ounces, making it an ideal solution for applications where space is at a premium.

Choose Your Connection Type

The GPS 18x is offered in three different cable configurations. All three versions of the GPS 18x come complete with non-volatile memory for storage of configuration information, a real-time clock and raw measurement output data for sophisticated customer applications.

  • GPS 18x PC has a DB-9 pin serial connector with a 12V cigarette lighter adapter. It can output data in NMEA 0183 format (industry standard) or proprietary Garmin format.
  • GPS 18x USB has an A-style USB connector, compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 full-speed hosts, and can output data in Garmin proprietary format only.
  • GPS 18x LVC has bare wire for connection to a variety of applications. It can output data in NMEA 0183 format (industry standard) or proprietary Garmin format, and provides a pulse-per-second logic-level output with a rising edge aligned to within 1 microsecond of UTC time.

The GPS 18x OEM is a high-sensitivity GPS sensor that replaces the GPS 18 OEM.


  • WAAS Enabled
    WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System), a system of satellites and ground stations, provides GPS signal corrections. WAAS-enabled GPS systems provide theoretical accuracy of less than 10 feet (3 meters).
  • 1Hz Pulse
    Provides a highly accurate 1Hz measurement pulse output for precise timing measurements. The pulse width is configurable in 20-millisecond increments, from 20ms to 980ms, with 1us accuracy.
  • Rugged Design
    The rugged design allows continuous exposure to prevailing weather conditions at most locations.
  • Built-In Battery
    The onboard rechargeable backup battery can maintain the real-time clock for up to 10 days.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Component for NTPd / GPSd Projects

Pros: Exactly as other reviews state: PPS, and my units also did not require a factory reset. The length of the cable was approximately fifteen feet, and the box was sturdy.

If you're looking for a GPS antennae for an NTPd/GPSd backed time clock on your home network it is a perfect fit.

Cons: You will need the RS232 connector and a spare USB plug to complete this component (and a PC that takes serial).

Soldering can be tough if you've never done it before, I'd highly suggest getting extras on the RS232 connectors if they're plastic and you've never done it before.

Other Thoughts: Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent product!

Pros: Exactly as expected. Unit ships with an odd connector (4 thin wires, yellow - white - green - black; and 2 thick wires; red - black).

Did not have to factory reset the unit as others had mentioned might be needed (on other sites). The receiver has a very nice long sleeve for the cables - easily fifteen feet.

Also had a magnetic base which I wasn't aware of, but was somewhat amused/happy about.

Wonderful addition to any network for accurate time keeping.

Cons: None, although for some reason newegg's price is considerably higher than others....

Other Thoughts: If you want to make your own stratum 1 server you will most likely want a few of these:

StarTech.com Assembled DB9 Female Solder D-SUB Connector with Plastic Backs

My soldering skills aren't the best, and a shaky hand doesn't help - so get extras if you're in the same boat.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat GPS Unit for a time server

Pros: Pulse per second output, great sensitivity, NMEA output, makes a great receiver for a dedicated NTP/PTP time server using gpsd, ntpd, and ptpd.

Cons: You have to solder your own connectors (but so what, right?)

Other Thoughts: This unit makes a great GPS receiver for an inexpensive time server. Put it with a cheap computer running some linux distro and an RS-232 and USB connector and you have a < $200 stratum 1 time server. I put one together for $150.00 using a refurbished Dell GX 280 (75.00) and this GPS receiver (65.00) plus some loose change for an RS-232 connector and a USB cable (for power).
