Software migration
Fastrax UP501 is based on MTK chipset, while PAM-7Q has u-blox 7 GNSS engine. For functionality aspects,
protocol porting, and software interface considerations when migrating from the Fastrax UP501 to the u-blox
PAM-7Q, see the
NMEA manual for Fastrax IT500 Series GPS/GNSS receivers
[6] and the
u-blox 7 Receiver
