Slow cold start

Takes a few minutes to lock on satellites if it hasn't been used in a while. Once locked, it performs adequately for basic logging.

Perfect for Arduino Projects

Works straight out of the box. The example code provided made integration with my Arduino Uno very simple. Got a GPS fix within 2 minutes outdoors.

Reliable positioning

Accurate data for logging location on my robot project. Voltage regulation on the board handles 5V input nicely.

Good value but needs sky view

Works well outdoors but struggles indoors as expected with GPS. Good value for the price point compared to other modules.
