FAQ
Can I use these GPS modules indoors?
GPS works best outdoors with a clear sky view. Near windows, you might still get a fix, but it will usually be slower and less accurate.
Are these GPS modules compatible with Arduino and ESP32?
Yes. Most modules expose UART (TX/RX) at 3.3V or 5V. They work well with TinyGPS++ and similar libraries on Arduino and ESP32.
How accurate is the position?
Typical hobby GPS modules give a few meters of accuracy in open sky. Accuracy can degrade near buildings, trees, or indoors.
Do I need an external antenna?
Some modules have built-in patch antennas, others require an external one via u.FL or SMA. External active antennas often improve fix time and reliability.
Do you ship GPS modules nationwide?
Yes—Circuitrocks ships GPS/GNSS modules, antennas, and accessories anywhere in the Philippines with fast handling on in-stock items.
