DESCRIPTION
- Provides high-accuracy positioning with up to 2.5 meters CEP under optimal conditions.
- Supports multiple satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou) for improved coverage and reliability.
- Fast acquisition and tracking enable rapid cold, warm, and hot starts, even in low-signal environments.
- UART interface allows simple connection to microcontrollers, SBCs, and embedded systems.
- Energy-efficient design suited for portable or battery-powered projects.
- Outputs standard NMEA sentences (GGA, RMC, GSV, etc.) compatible with most navigation software.
- Some versions include an onboard backup battery, preserving almanac data for faster restarts.
- Compact and lightweight, suitable for drones, handheld devices, and small enclosures.
- Ensure proper antenna placement to maintain optimal GPS signal reception.
- Environmental factors (buildings, trees, weather) can affect performance and fix time.
