Arduino MKR GPS Shield (u-blox SAM-M8Q)
Add GPS, GLONASS & Galileo positioning to Arduino MKR boards with this compact GNSS shield. Ideal for outdoor projects.
The Arduino MKR GPS Shield is a high-performance GNSS module designed specifically for Arduino MKR boards. Based on the reliable u-blox SAM-M8Q GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) module, this shield receives and processes signals from GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo positioning services concurrently, making it ideal for outdoor applications around the world.
The shield features an omnidirectional patch antenna for excellent signal reception, and connects seamlessly to your MKR board either through Serial1 or via the I2C / DCC protocol on the 5-pin connector. It operates at a maximum voltage of 3.3V and is not 5V tolerant, so ensure your setup complies with these voltage requirements.
This compact shield (43mm x 33mm x 15mm, weighing just 23g) is perfect for projects that require accurate positioning, such as tracking systems, navigation devices, and outdoor data loggers. With its multi-constellation support, you can rely on consistent performance even in challenging environments.
Whether you are a hobbyist or a professional developer, the Arduino MKR GPS Shield offers a straightforward and dependable solution for adding location capabilities to your MKR-based projects.
