{"product_id":"arduino-mkr-gps-shield","title":"Arduino MKR GPS Shield","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you are experimenting with monitoring fleets, high-altitude scientific experiments, or any kind of project requiring localization of devices, the MKR GPS Shield will offer you the functionality you need, and it is plug 'n' play!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MKR GPS Shield is based on the u-blox SAM-M8Q GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) module. It is meant to be used on top of boards in the MKR format, but thanks to its Eslov connector, it is also possible to hook it up to any board having that kind of connector available using a cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis module is designed to operate with different positioning services concurrently. It receives and processes the signals from \u003ca data-tabindex-counter=\"2\" data-tabindex-value=\"none\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Global_Positioning_System\" tabindex=\"-1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGPS\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca data-tabindex-counter=\"2\" data-tabindex-value=\"none\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/GLONASS\" tabindex=\"-1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGLONASS\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca data-tabindex-counter=\"2\" data-tabindex-value=\"none\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Galileo_satellite_navigation\" tabindex=\"-1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGalileo\u003c\/a\u003e. It interfaces with Arduino boards either through a serial interface, when used with headers and put on top of a MKR board, or through an I2C interface and a dedicated ESLOV cable supplied as bundle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConfiguration Commands and Backup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GPS module can be configured via special commands. We have included an on-board battery holder for the system to keep the configurations made via software. This can be convenient when e.g. changing the operation mode of the GPS to 1g, something common in high altitude experiments, where specific settings away from the default ones are needed for the device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother example is the use of Galileo's localization option, which is disabled by default, but can be enabled by sending a configuration message (UBXCFG-GNSS) to the receiver.
