History
Haicom Electronics Corp. was established in 2000 and is headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan; per its distributor site it has more than two decades of GPS and IoT hardware experience, including GPS data loggers among its product lines.
Where it is used
Written by the bundled software of Haicom's standalone GPS data loggers when exporting a recorded track for use in mapping or GIS tools.
Structure
A CSV file with a fixed header line ("INDEX,RCR,DATE,TIME,LATITUDE,N/S,LONGITUDE, E/W,ALTITUDE,COURSE,SPEED") followed by one row per fix: index, a record marker, date, time, latitude with N/S hemisphere letter, longitude with E/W hemisphere letter, altitude in metres, heading and speed in km/h.
How widespread
Haicom continues to sell GPS/IoT hardware as of this writing, though its current catalogue is dominated by GSM/GPS trackers rather than the standalone logger product line this format originates from.
