Product Specification

Product Description

Adding GPS to your Arduino has never been easier. Multiple GPS receivers attach easily to the shield, and with the SparkFun GPS Shield and 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.A connector for the popular SKG13BL GPS receiver is populated on the board. The regular GPS pins (RX, TX) are also broken out to a 2.54mm pitch header. The DLINE/UART switch switches the GPS module’s input/output between Arduino’s standard TX/RX pins or any digital pins on the Arduino (default setting uses pins 8 and 9 connected to TX and RX, respectively). A reset switch is included which is connected to reset of arduino.
