GPS Receiver – GP-20U7

The GP-20U7 is a compact GPS receiver with a built-in high performances all-in-one GPS chipset. The GP-20U7 accurately provides position, velocity, and time readings as well possessing high sensitivity and tracking capabilities. Thanks to the low power consumption this receiver requires, the GP-20U7 is ideal for portable applications such as tablet PCs, smart phones, and other devices requiring positioning capability.

This 56-channel GPS module, that supports a standard NMEA-0183 and uBlox 7 protocol, has low power consumption of 40mA@3.3V (max), an antenna on board, and -162dBm tracking sensitivity. With 56 channels in search mode and 22 channels “all-in-view” tracking, the GP-20U7 is quite the work horse for its size.

This one is unused and doesnt have a conection TX pin.

NMEA V3.01 Protocol

Its output signal level is TTL: 9600bps (default), 8 bit data, 1 stop bit and no parity
It supports the following NMEA-0183
Messages: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV, RMC and VTG

NMEA-0183 Output Messages

NMEA: Record Description
GGA: Global positoning system fixed data
GLL: Geogrphic position – latitude / longitude
GSA: GNSS DOP and active satellites
GSV: GNSS satellites in view
RMC: Recommended minimum specific GNSS data
VTG: Course over ground and ground speed
