GY-NEO6MV2 NEO-6M GPS Module | High-Precision GPS with EEPROM & Large Antenna for Arduino, APM2, and Drones

Product Description

The GY-NEO6MV2 GPS Module is a high-precision satellite positioning module based on the Ublox NEO-6M chipset, designed for Arduino, APM2.5, flight controllers, and robotics applications.

It provides accurate and fast GPS data acquisition with strong satellite signal reception. Equipped with a large external active ceramic antenna, the module ensures improved accuracy and stable satellite lock even in low-signal environments.

The onboard EEPROM retains configuration settings after power-off, and the module communicates via UART (serial interface), making it easy to integrate into Arduino, STM32, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi projects.
