 Information

As part of the continuous product improvement, the correction signals of the BCM GPS receiver will be 
changed. 
Starting from 01.02.2021, StarFire correction signal might only be available to a limited degree  
due to a frequency change. The usual accuracy of the GPS receiver will thus be reduced.  
An update of the GPS firmware is required to receive coordinates with the usual accuracy (SF1/SF2). 
 

Please inform the affected customers in your area! 

The change of the firmware is to be carried out according to the enclosed description. 
The required firmware is available for download under the following link:
