ArkNav - K-18U
The ArkNav K-18U is a compact GPS data logger designed to record journeys and track assets with a focus on straightforward data capture. It logs time, date, and satellite location at one second intervals and stores complete GPS NMEA sentences so recorded tracks can be reviewed or processed later. The device saves data to removable micro SD storage and organizes files in chronological order for easy retrieval.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the K-18U is relevant for organizations that need reliable position history and flexible data handling. Its ability to produce full NMEA logs and the included K-18S test software make it a cost effective option for teams that want to combine local logging with Plaspy's mapping, reporting, and operational oversight. Plaspy can use the exported logs and position data from the K-18U to improve visibility into trips, assets, and fleet activity.
