Today, even our mobile phones have GPS locators. With that, adding a GPS feature to your Arduino project/s won't be new, but it would be a useful project feature for location tracking purposes. This shield can be compatible with 3.3v/5v boards for a broader range of boards to use. But it is only compatible with boards having the same board design, namely Uno, Mega, Due, Leonardo, and others with the same form factor.

Another cool feature of this shield is that it has a microSD card reader module that you can use for data logging.

This module uses Ublox's NEO-6M GPS receiver module. Configuring the UART pins (RX/TX) won't be a hindrance for this board to have an onboard configurable jumper for RX and TX routing. It also supports the use of Software Serial.
