This GPS Receiver (Model B) is now discontinued. We suggest the GPS Receiver for Arduino (Model A) as a great replacement. This GPS module uses the U-BLOX G7020 solution. It comes with a ceramic antenna and a magnet inside the enclosure. With the TinyGPS or TinyGPS++ library, your Arduino can easily get geographic data like latitude, longitude, and altitude, as well as velocity, heading angle, and GMT time. The update rate is key for a GPS receiver. Most phone GPS has a 1Hz update rate, meaning it gets one data set per second. This 10Hz GPS receiver has a much shorter data interval, making it perfect for high - demand uses, such as on fast - moving vehicles. Documents include Wiki Doc (Shared by Model A) (SKU:TEL0083 - A), Introduction to GPS, NMEA Reference Manual, and TinyGPS - NMEA parsing library for Arduino. The shipping list has one GPS Receiver for Arduino (Model B) and one 3M sticker.
To use this GPS Receiver, first connect it to your Arduino. You'll need to use the TinyGPS or TinyGPS++ library to get the data. Once connected, the receiver will start collecting geographic data, velocity, and other useful information. Remember, this model is discontinued, so if you run into any issues, consider switching to Model A. When installing, use the 3M sticker provided. Keep the receiver in a place where it can have a clear view of the sky for better signal reception. There's no complex maintenance required, but try to keep it away from extreme temperatures and moisture. If you want to know more about GPS in general, check out the Introduction to GPS document. Also, the NMEA Reference Manual can help you understand the data it provides.
