ITEAD GPS shield

Overview

It's based on RoyalTek REB-4216 GPS module, and the footprints is compatible with Arduino/MEGA boards. The regular GPS pins (RX, TX) can be connected to D0-D7 of Arduino.

Adding GPS to your Arduino has never been easier. Multiple GPS receivers attach easily to the shield, and with the example sketch (check below), you will be able to locate your exact position within a few meters. Here's where we are. GPS also gives you amazingly accurate time!  It’s suitable for the following applications with Arduino or Arduino compatible boards :

• Automotive navigation

• Personal positioning

• Fleet management

• Marine navigation

Features

• With Micro SD interface

• RP-SMA Active  antenna  design with  high  receive  sensitivity,  compatible normal antenna (antenna not included)

• Extremely fast time to first fix at low signal level

• UART interface

• Operation temperature: -40℃ ~ +85℃
