The GPS recorder consists of a GPS receiver board, a logging facility, an antenna, a power supply, a DC-DC converter and a casing. Currently, it has a weight of 33 g. The recorder works reliably with a sampling rate of 1/s and with an operation time of about 3 h, providing time-indexed data on geographic positions and ground speed. The data are downloaded when the animal is recaptured. Prototypes were tested on homing pigeons. The records of complete flight paths with surprising details illustrate the potential of this new method that can be used on a variety of medium-sized and large vertebrates.
全球定位系统记录器由一个全球定位系统接收板、一个记录设备、一个天线、一个电源、一个直流-直流转换器和一个外壳组成。目前，其重量为33克。该记录器以1次/秒的采样率和大约3小时的运行时间可靠工作，提供关于地理位置和地面速度的带时间索引的数据。当动物被重新捕获时下载数据。已在信鸽身上对原型进行了测试。完整飞行路径的记录有着惊人的细节，说明了这种可用于各种中型和大型脊椎动物的新方法的潜力。
