Stars Nav - BTS-100
The BTS-100 is a compact in-vehicle GPS receiver designed for drivers and integrators who need a dependable source of position and POI alerts. It combines high-sensitivity GNSS reception with an integrated speed camera reminder and streams basic telemetry such as longitude, latitude, speed, and UTC over Bluetooth Serial Port Profile. The device is optimized for long hours on the road and supports user-configurable POI databases via a PC utility and mini USB interface.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the BTS-100 can serve as a reliable external GPS source for real-time tracking and fleet management workflows. Its Bluetooth SPP output and local POI alerting make it practical for deployments where in-cab warnings are useful while Plaspy handles map visualization, historical telemetry, and fleet-level insights.

How It Works with Plaspy
The BTS-100 provides Plaspy with a steady, NMEA-like data stream over Bluetooth SPP once paired to a Plaspy-enabled device or gateway. Plaspy can ingest the positional and speed updates for live map views, alerting, and reporting, while the tracker retains local POI functionality for driver warnings.
- Real-time longitude, latitude, speed, and UTC updates over Bluetooth SPP for Plaspy ingestion
- Local audible and LED POI alerts that complement Plaspy notifications for driver safety
- POI upload and download via mini USB and PC utility to manage device-level camera databases
- Configurable trace intervals to balance high-frequency telemetry needs with data and power considerations
- Motion-activated power management that supports long operational periods and reduces maintenance burden
Typical Use Cases
- Providing an external GPS feed to older navigation units and mobile devices that accept external inputs
- Fleet operations that want local speed camera warnings coupled with centralized Plaspy reporting
- Portable tracking for shared vehicles or temporary field deployments requiring quick pairing
- Driver assistance and location reporting to help fleet managers monitor vehicle movements in real time
- System integrators needing a classic Bluetooth SPP GPS source for compatibility with legacy hardware
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The BTS-100 is a practical choice for organizations using Plaspy when the primary need is reliable position streaming and driver-facing POI alerts. Its combination of high-sensitivity GNSS reception, long battery life, and simple Bluetooth SPP output makes it straightforward to add external GPS capability to fleets, aftermarket navigation systems, or mobile devices that integrate with Plaspy.
While the BTS-100 emphasizes location and POI functionality rather than vehicle-specific telemetry, it fits well into broader telematics setups where Plaspy aggregates data from multiple sources. For teams seeking a compact, user-configurable GPS receiver that provides local speed camera reminders and steady positional data, the BTS-100 is a solid Plaspy-compatible option.
