Don't be fooled by its small size, this is a very sensitive, high-quality GPS module with all the extras you could want and more at under 6 grams!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs of August 2021, the original \"Ultimate GPS\" module we used was discontinued by the vendor. \u003c\/strong\u003eWe found and are using a nearly-identical version of the module - it's a little taller (4mm) but has the same functionality. The commands for querying the antenna have changed slightly so existing projects may need to update their firmware.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's got everything you want and more:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-165 dBm sensitivity, 10 Hz updates, 66 channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-low power usage: 20mA current draw while tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.3V operation,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRTC battery-compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in datalogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePPS output on fix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe have received reports that it works up to ~32Km altitude (the GPS theoretically does not have a limit until 40Km)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal patch antenna + connection for optional external active antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFix status output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra small size: only 16mm x 16mm x 6.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe breakout is built around the MTK3333 chipset, a no-nonsense, high-quality GNSS module that can track up to 33 satellites on 99 channels, has an excellent high-sensitivity receiver (-165 dBm tracking!), and a built in antenna. It can do up to 10 location updates a second for high speed, high sensitivity logging, or tracking. Power usage is incredibly low, only ~29 mA during navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo features that really stand out about the MTK3333-based module are the external antenna functionality and the built-in data-logging capability. The module has a standard ceramic patch antenna that gives it -165 dBm sensitivity, but when you want to have a bigger antenna, you can snap on any 3V active GPS antenna via the uFL connector. The module will automatically detect the active antenna and switch over! Most GPS antennas use SMA connectors so you may want to pick up one of our uFL to SMA adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis item is just the GPS module itself, no breakout board or other components included.\u003c\/strong\u003e The module can be soldered by hand without too much difficulty, we have it in our Eagle Library (GPS_FGPMMOPA6H) to make it easy to use. If you're interested in getting started fast, check out our \u003cstrong\u003eUltimate GPS breakout board\u003c\/strong\u003e which comes all assembled and tested. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have a nice fancy library for GPS usage for both Arduino and Python usage. A full tutorial is also available, which has tons of information about the module, how to use the data logger, example code for both CircuitPython \u0026amp; Arduino, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tab-technical-details-content\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGPS + GLONASS supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatellites: 33 tracking, 99 searching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatch Antenna Size: 15mm x 15mm x 4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdate rate: 1 to 10 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition Accuracy: \u0026lt; 3 meters (all GPS technology has about 3m accuracy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelocity Accuracy: 0.1 meters\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm\/cold start: 34 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcquisition sensitivity: -145 dBm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking sensitivity: -165 dBm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Velocity: 515m\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVin range: 3.0-5.5VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMTK3333 Operating current: 34mA acquision, 29 mA tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput: NMEA 0183, 9600 baud default, 3V logic level out, 5V-safe input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDGPS\/WAAS\/EGNOS supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAGPS support (Offline mode : EPO valid up to 14 days )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 210 PRN channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJammer detection and reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-path detection and compensation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Dimensions: 16.0mm x 16.0mm x 6.4mm \/ 0.6\" x 0.6\" x 0.3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Weight: 5.7g \/ 0.2oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48624215589082,"sku":"ajz1789686763513","price":16.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/8318\/3834\/files\/ultimate-gps-module-pa1616d---66-channel-w10-hz-updates-mtk3333-chipset_1.jpg?v=1789686767","url":"https:\/\/memoryfoamwear.shop\/products\/ultimate-gps-module-pa1616d-66-channel-w10-hz-updates-mtk3333-chipset","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
