GPS NEO 6M with Patch Antenna

The GPS NEO 6M with Patch Antenna is a complete GPS receiver module with built-in antenna for accurate positioning and navigation. It outputs standard NMEA sentences compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers.

Key Features

• GPS receiver with 50-channel U-Blox NEO-6M engine
• Built-in patch antenna for immediate use
• Standard NMEA output (GGA, GSA, GSV, RMC, etc.)
• High sensitivity of -161 dBm tracking
• 2.5m CEP accuracy in ideal conditions
• Fast time-to-first-fix with hot start support
• UART TTL interface at 9600 baud (default)

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Vehicle tracking and fleet management
• Location logging and route recording
• Drone navigation and waypoint control
• Precision clock synchronization
• Outdoor asset tracking
• Geocaching and outdoor navigation projects

Pinout

• VCC: 3.3V-5V power input
• GND: Ground
• TX: UART transmit (GPS to MCU)
• RX: UART receive (MCU to GPS for configuration)
• PPS: 1Hz pulse output (time synchronization)

Important Notes

• First fix may take several minutes in cold start (no almanac)
• Requires clear sky view – indoor reception is poor
• Baud rate configurable via U-Blox U-Center software
• Backup battery maintains ephemeris for faster re-acquisition
• External active antenna can be connected for improved sensitivity
