RXM-SG GPS Module w/Ext Antenna

The RXM-SG GPS Module provides a high quality, highly sensitive GPS receiver with an external antenna to provide a complete GPS solution for both microcontroller and PC applications.

The high-performance SiRFstar III chipset features 20 parallel satellite tracking channels for fast acquisition of NMEA0183 data for robotics navigation, telemetry or experimentation. This GPS Module can connect to a microcontroller or even a PC (via USB). A Windows application provides a graphical display of the GPS data and can even show your location on Google Maps (internet connection required). Four general purpose I/O pins provide expansion for pin intensive projects.
