Overview

Arduino GPS shield .jpg

Arduino GPS shield is a GPS module breadout board designed for Global Positioning System receiver with SD interface. It is easy to use for recording the position data into SD card. 5V/3.3V compatible operation voltage level make it compatible with Arduino boards, leaf maple, IFlat32 and other arduino compatible boards.

It's based on u-blox NEO-6M GPS module , and the footprints is compatible with Arduino/MEGA boards. The regular GPS pins (RX, TX) can be connected to D0-D7 of Arduino.

Adding GPS to your Arduino has never been easier. Multiple GPS receivers attach easily to the shield, and with the example sketch (check below), you will be able to locate your exact position within a few meters. Here's where we are. GPS also gives you amazingly accurate time! It’s suitable for the following applications with Arduino or Arduino compatible boards :

  • Automotive navigation
  • Personal positioning
  • Fleet management
  • Marine navigation

Features

  • With Micro SD interface
  • Active antenna design with high receive sensitivity, compatible

normal antenna

  • Extremely fast time to first fix at low signal level
  • UART interface
  • Operation temperature: -40℃ ~ +85℃

Installation

When install GPS shield to Arduino, please check the operation voltage level of development board. If the voltage is 3.3V (IFLAT32,Leaf maple), set the Operation Level Setting switch to 3.3V. If the voltage is 5V(Arduino), set the Operation Level Setting switch to 5V.
