Announces the V-2000 GNSS Data Logger
A Next-Generation Successor to the i-gotU GT-120B / GT-600B
The Columbus V-2000, a compact, waterproof GNSS data logger developed as a direct successor to the discontinued i-gotU GT-120B and GT-600B.
In 2024, Mobile Action ceased operations, ending production of the GT-120B and GT-600B. Since then, the market has lacked a small-form-factor, waterproof GNSS data logger, leaving professional users with limited alternatives. To address this gap, Columbus GPS began development of a replacement solution in 2025, culminating in the V-2000.
Major Advancements
The Columbus V-2000 delivers substantial improvements over previous generations:
-
Enhanced positioning accuracy (~1 m vs. 5–8 m)
-
Smaller, lighter design
-
Improved waterproof rating
-
Optimized battery design with extended logging runtime
-
Expanded onboard memory
-
Integrated motion sensor
-
Full multi-constellation GNSS support (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou)
-
USB-C interface (replacing Micro-USB)
-
Standard CSV data output (eliminating proprietary file formats)
Engineering Commitment
Delivering these capabilities in a compact, rugged form factor presented significant engineering challenges. The Columbus engineering team spent more than a year refining the design, optimizing numerous technical details, and carefully selecting upstream components. This resulted in a longer development cycle and substantially higher R&D investment compared to typical products in this category.
As a result, the originally projected release timeline of February 2026 was delayed.
Statement
We sincerely apologize for the delay and greatly appreciate the patience and continued support of our customers. Based on current development progress, the updated estimated delivery timeframe is March 2026.
Please note that this timeline is an estimate rather than a guarantee, and further adjustments may be necessary. However, at this stage, we believe a March 2026 release remains highly achievable.
