GPS module GY neo-6m uses the popular Ublox Neo 6M GPS chip.

The detachable high gain antenna supports fast satellite acquisition, keeping the gps accuracy within 5m. There's dedicated EEPROM and a backup battery onboard that stores the satellite ephemeris data when powered off and thus helps faster location estimation as soon as the module powers on.

Features

• u-blox NEO-6M onboard, with high-gain active antenna

• Chargeable backup battery, keeps the ephemeris data when power down, supports hot starts

• Onboard EEPROM for storing config information

• Compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi

Applications

• GPS Tracker

• Multicopter Positioning

Usage Notes

• GPS doesn't work indoor. Please use the module outside buildings for it to function preperly.

• You'll need a USB-Serial converter if you want to configure this module using U-center. (click here).
