San Jose Navigation FV-M7 GPS Module

FVM7 Order

The FV-M7 is a gps receiver module offering a superb combination of performance, sensitivity and power consumption in a small package. Based on the MTK-3301 chipset it offers a 5Hz update rate which allows for near real time position reporting. It has an MCX jack for the connection of an external active antenna. A 100mm connection cable is included. The support software allows for datalogging and reconfiguring the NMEA data output. The serial output of this module is RS232.
