Featured GPS & GNSS categories
GPS/GNSS Breakout Modules
- NEO-6M GPS modules for basic tracking
- NEO-M8N GNSS modules for higher sensitivity & more constellations
- UART and sometimes I²C outputs for easy integration
GPS Antennas & Accessories
- Active and passive GPS/GNSS antennas
- u.FL / SMA options, with magnetic or adhesive bases
- Extension cables and pigtails for better sky view placement
Trackers & Combined Modules
- GPS + GSM / communication boards (where available)
- All-in-one solutions for SMS/location projects
- Great for vehicle, pet, or asset tracking prototypes
Tip: For best performance, give your GPS antenna a clear view of the sky, away from metal and noisy switching regulators. First-time cold fix can take a few minutes—especially indoors.
GPS/GNSS chooser (quick guide)
| Need | Good first choice | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Basic coordinates & speed for Arduino | NEO-6M GPS module | Affordable and well-supported; works great with TinyGPS++ and common tutorials. |
| Faster fix & more satellites | NEO-M8N GNSS module | Supports multiple constellations (GPS/GLONASS/others depending on model) for better accuracy. |
| Battery-powered tracker node | Compact GPS module + ESP32 + Li-ion | Use deep-sleep on ESP32 and power control on GPS to save battery life. |
| Data logging (route, speed, time) | GPS module + microSD logger | Log NMEA or parsed data to CSV for analysis in Excel/Google Sheets. |
| Vehicle / asset SMS tracker | GPS module + GSM/LTE module | Combine GPS coordinates with cellular data or SMS for remote tracking. |
| Outdoor timing reference | GPS with PPS (pulse-per-second) | Use PPS output for time-sync in distributed or sensor networks. |
Always check supply voltage (3.3V vs 5V), antenna connector type (u.FL/SMA), and UART pins before wiring to your board.

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.
