Seeed Studio Grove-GPS (Air530)

Seeed Studio Grove-GPS (Air530) is a high-performance, highly integrated multi-mode satellite positioning, and navigation module. The Grove-GPS (Air530) module comes with GPS (Air530) board and grove cable. This module supports GPS/Beidou/Glonass/Galileo/QZSS/SBAS that makes it suitable for GNSS positioning applications. The Grove-GPS (Air530) module is capable of receiving more than 6 satellites at the same time. This works quickly and accurately under the condition of a bad signal. The module features low power consumption at 31µA, compatible hard/soft interface for other modules, and positioning error within 10 meters.

The Grove-GPS (Air530) module adopts the integrated design of RF baseband, that integrates DC/DC, LDO, LNA, RF front-end, baseband processing, and 32-bit RISC based chip. This module includes the Air530 TX indicator (blue LED), 1PPS indicator (green LED), Air530 module, grove interface, Air530 headers, and 3V button battery. The GPS (Air530) module operates at 3.3V/5V supply voltage and -35°C to 85°C temperature range. Typical applications include GPS tracker, GPS navigation, distance measurement, car navigation, and drone.
