SparkFun GPS Breakout – Chip Antenna

SparkFun GPS Breakout – Chip Antenna is a high-quality, GPS board with impressive configuration options. The SAM-M8Q is a 72-channel GNSS receiver that receives signals from the GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo constellations. This increases precision and decreases lock time. It has an onboard rechargeable battery. Backup power enables the GPS to get a hot lock within seconds. This u-blox receiver supports I2C (u-blox calls this Display Data Channel). It utilizes the Qwiic system, so no soldering is required.
