Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout – 66 channel w/10 Hz updates – PA1616S

Navigate the world accurately with the Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout.

Standard GPS modules can be very slow to lock. However, this Ultimate GPS Breakout is designed for speed. It uses the PA1616S chipset for superior performance. Consequently, you get a satellite fix in record time.

Key Features:

• High Update Rate: It offers up to 10 position updates per second. Because of this, it is perfect for fast-moving drones.

• Built-in Data Logging: It can record your path to internal flash memory. Therefore, you do not need an external SD card.

• Low Power Consumption: It requires only 20mA during tracking. Furthermore, it includes a battery backup for the real-time clock.

• Excellent Sensitivity: It features a -165 dBm tracking sensitivity. Simply use the internal patch antenna for great results.

Why should you choose this GPS module? Are you building a wearable tracker or a weather balloon? Because of its compact size, it fits into any portable project. Moreover, it is compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and CircuitPython. Furthermore, it includes an led that blinks when it has a fix. Therefore, it is the most user-friendly GPS on the market. Simply connect it to your TX/RX pins to begin.
