GY-NEO6MV2 module series is a family of stand-alone GPS receivers featuring the high-performance ublox 6 positioning engine. The module simply checks its location on earth and provides output data which is the longitude and latitude of its position. GY-NEO6MV2 comes with a small battery for hot-start, along with a built-in EEPROM. To offer better signal reception, there is an external ceramic antenna that connects to the board via a U.FL connector
GY-NEO6MV2 GPS module can track up to 22 satellites over 50 channels and achieve the industry’s highest level of tracking sensitivity i.e. -161 dB while consuming only 45 mA current. Its compact architecture, modular design, power, and memory options make NEO6MV2 modules ideal for battery-operated mobile devices with very strict cost and space constraints.
