Adafruit Ultimate GPS Logger Shield - Includes GPS Module
The Adafruit Ultimate GPS Logger Shield combines the popular Ultimate GPS module with a MicroSD card slot, giving your Arduino a complete GPS datalogging solution. Built around the MTK3339 chipset, it tracks up to 22 satellites on 66 channels with -165 dBm sensitivity and delivers up to 10 position updates per second.
Log GPS data directly to a removable MicroSD card, or use the built-in FLASH datalogging for autonomous recording. The shield includes a prototyping area for adding your own sensors and LEDs, plus an RTC battery for accurate timekeeping even when powered off.
Key Features
- 66-Channel GPS Receiver – Tracks up to 22 satellites with -165 dBm sensitivity and 10 Hz updates
- MicroSD Card Slot – Log GPS data to a removable MicroSD card
- Built-in FLASH Datalogging – Autonomous internal logging via LOCUS
- Low Power – Only 20 mA current draw, half of most GPS modules
- Dual Antenna Support – Internal patch antenna plus u.FL connector for external active antenna (auto-switching)
- RTC with Battery Backup – CR1220 coin cell included for up to 7 years of timekeeping
- PPS Output – Pulse-Per-Second signal on GPS fix
- Status LEDs – Power, Pin #13, and Fix status indicators
- Prototyping Area – Large area for adding custom components
Ideal For
- GPS datalogging and field recording projects
- Geocaching and location-triggered applications
- Vehicle and asset tracking
- Location-aware Arduino projects
Compatibility
- Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, Diecimila, and Leonardo
- Not compatible with Arduino Mega, ADK, or Due
Package Contents
- 1× Adafruit Ultimate GPS Logger Shield (fully assembled and tested with GPS module)
- 1× 0.1" male header strip (requires soldering)
- 1× CR1220 coin cell battery
