About this item

The u-blox NEO-6M GPS Module is a high-performance, compact GPS receiver designed for precise, real-time navigation and tracking. It features the reliable NEO-6M chipset capable of locking onto up to 22 GPS satellites across 50 tracking channels for enhanced accuracy—even in challenging environments—with sensitivity down to –161 dBm. It operates over a wide voltage range from 2.7 V to 6 V, making it compatible with typical microcontroller systems, and uses a simple UART (TTL) interface for seamless integration. The module delivers fast fixes, with a cold start time of around 27–38 seconds and hot start in about 1 second, while maintaining a 5 Hz update rate. An onboard rechargeable battery preserves satellite data through the backup RTC and EEPROM, enabling quicker subsequent lock times and better performance in mobile setups. It also includes an external patch antenna connected via U.FL for flexible placement and improved reception. Operating reliably in temperatures from approximately –40 °C to +85 °C, it supports SBAS systems like WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, and GAGAN for enhanced positional accuracy. Easy to integrate via its four pins—VCC, GND, TX, and RX—it’s ideal for drones, robotics, GPS-enabled IoT devices, and navigation systems. The u-blox NEO-6M balances precision, ease of use, and flexibility for a wide range of geolocation projects.
