If you put your Raspberry Pi or Arduino in the wild, can you track its location? If you had this GPS module, you can make it!
The Grove GPS module is a cost-efficient and field-programmable gadget armed with a SIM28 module and serial communication configuration. Similar to other Grove series sensors, it plugs directly into the Grove UART interface development board and provides a precise, sensitive, low-power GPS module for position recognition anywhere in the world. It features 22 tracking / 66 acquisition channels GPS receivers. The sensitivity of tracking and acquisition both reach up to -160dBm, making it a great choice for personal navigation projects and location services, as well as An outstanding one among products of the same price class.
How do GPS modules work?
Satellite Technology. GPS modules contain tiny processors and antennas that directly receive data sent by satellites through dedicated RF frequencies. From there, it’ll receive timestamps from each visible satellite, along with other pieces of data. If the module’s antenna can spot 4 or more satellites, it’s able to accurately calculate their position and time.
