It can do up to 10 location updates a second for high speed, high sensitivity logging or tracking. Power usage is incredibly low, only 20 mA during navigation. What's more Adafruit wrote a tutorial on how to interface the Adafruit Ultimate GPS to an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.makerlab-electronics.com\/product\/arduino-uno-r3\/\"\u003eArduino\u003c\/a\u003e tutorial below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest of all, we added all the extra goodies you could ever want: a ultra-low dropout 3.3V regulator so you can power it with 3.3-5VDC in, 5V level safe inputs, ENABLE pin so you can turn off the module using any microcontroller pin or switch, a footprint for optional CR1220 coin cell to keep the RTC running and allow warm starts and a tiny bright red LED. The LED blinks at about 1Hz while it's searching for satellites and blinks once every 15 seconds when a fix is found to conserve power. If you want to have an LED on all the time, we also provide the FIX signal out on a pin so you can put an external LED on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo features that really stand out about version 3 MTK3339-based module is the external antenna functionality and the the built in data-logging capability. The module has a standard ceramic patch antenna that gives it -165 dB sensitivity, but when you want to have a bigger antenna, you can snap on any 3V active GPS antenna via the uFL connector. The module will automatically detect the active antenna and switch over!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other cool feature of the new MTK3339-based module (which we have tested with great success) is the built in datalogging ability. Since there is a microcontroller inside the module, with some empty FLASH memory, the newest firmware now allows sending commands to do internal logging to that FLASH. The only thing is that you do need to have a microcontroller send the \"Start Logging\" command. However, after that message is sent, the microcontroller can go to sleep and does not need to wake up to talk to the GPS anymore to reduce power consumption. The time, date, longitude, latitude, and height is logged every 15 seconds and only when there is a fix. The internal FLASH can store about 16 hours of data, it will automatically append data so you don't have to worry about accidentally losing data if power is lost. It is not possible to change what is logged and how often, as its hardcoded into the module but we found that this arrangement covers many of the most common GPS datalogging requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with one fully assembled and tested module, a piece of header you can solder to it for breadboarding, and a CR1220 coin cell holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have a nice \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/adafruit\/Adafruit-GPS-Library\"\u003efancy library for GPS usage, with background parsing and can set and query the built in GPS logging capability\u003c\/a\u003e (called LOCUS). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-165 dBm sensitivity, 10 Hz updates, 66 channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5V friendly design and only 20mA current draw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreadboard friendly + two mounting holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRTC battery-compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in datalogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePPS output on fix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal patch antenna + u.FL connector for external active antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFix status LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew!
