Arduino GPS Shield

4 2011-07-08 SparkFun Description: Adding GPS to your Arduino has never been easier. The multiple GPS receivers attach easily to the shield, and with the <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorial/GPSQuickStart/gps_parsing_v13.pde">example sketch</a>, you will be able to locate your exact position within a few meters. Here's where <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=40.06477,+-105.20997" target="_blank">we are</a>. GPS also gives you amazingly accurate time! A <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/tutorial_info.php?tutorials_id=173">GPS quickstart guide</a> is available for this product. With the GPS Shield you can add GPS functionality to your Arduino. A connector for the popular <a classname="" href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=465" name="" target="_blank">EM-406</a> GPS receiver is populated on the board, and footprints for <a classname="" href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8288" name="" target="_self">EM-408</a> and <a classname="" href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8297" name="" target="_self">EB-85A</a> connectors are also made available (connectors are not soldered on or included and can be found below in the related items). There is also a spot for the <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9758" target="_blank">SUP500</a> GPS module. The regular GPS pins (RX, TX, PPS, etc.) are also broken out to a 10-pin 0.1" pitch header, and a small protoyping area is also provided. The DLINE/UART switch switches the GPS module's input/output between Arduino's standard TX/RX pins or any digital pins on the Arduino (default setting uses pins 3 and 2 connected to TX and RX, respectively). The regular GPS pins (RX, TX, PPS, etc.) are broken out to a 10-pin 0.1" pitch header, and a small protoyping area is also provided. An ON/OFF switch is included which controls power to the GPS module. Additionally, the Arduino reset switch is also brought out. Note: The DLINE/UART switch must be set to DLINE in order to upload code through the Arduino IDE. The shield also includes the footprint for a <a classname="" href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=7948" name="" target="_blank">12mm coin cell battery holder</a> to provide battery backup to the optional EB-85A gps module. Note: GPS modules are not included with the GPS Shield, and only the EM-406 connector is populated. Headers are also not installed or included, we recommend the <a classname="" href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9280" name="" target="_self">6</a> and <a classname="" href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9279" name="" target="_self">8-pin stackable headers</a>.
