NEO-7M GPS Module with Compass for APM/Pixhawk

The NEO-7M GPS with integrated compass provides reliable satellite positioning and heading data for APM and Pixhawk-based builds. Ideal for budget-conscious fixed-wing, rover, or older multirotor platforms running ArduPilot, this module locks onto GPS and GLONASS networks to enable autonomous flight modes, return-to-home (RTH), and waypoint navigation.

Key features

• u-blox 7 56-channel GNSS engine with fast time-to-first-fix (TTFF)

• Integrated 3-axis digital compass (I2C) for accurate yaw and heading telemetry

• Built-in 25x25mm high-gain ceramic patch antenna for strong signal reception

• Rechargeable backup battery retains ephemeris data for rapid hot starts

• Pre-configured EEPROM for plug-and-play compatibility with standard APM and Pixhawk flight controllers

Specifications

• GNSS Engine: u-blox 7 (56 channels)

• Supported Constellations: GPS, GLONASS, QZSS

• Max Update Rate: 10Hz

• Input Voltage: 3.3V to 5V DC

• Protocols: NMEA, UBX (UART for GPS, I2C for compass)

• Antenna Dimensions: 25x25x4 mm

For optimal compass performance, mount the module on a pedestal or mast well above your airframe's power distribution board and motors to prevent electromagnetic interference.
