GPS Expansion Description
The expansion comes with the reliable ublox chip. This chip efficiently translates data received by the antenna and converts the information into the NMEA message so it becomes readable for the Onion Omega.
There is no need to arrange for the external power supply because it receives power from the Dock. Along with the power reception, the USB connector also facilitates data transmission. The GPS Expansion is really handy for the projects involving geo-data. You can easily create your own navigation system by using the GPS expansion in combination with the OLED expansion. You can create new games such as treasure hunt etc. by using this powerful navigation feature.
