The GPS Shield is based on the u-blox NEO-6M receiver module and plugs directly into Arduino UNO, Mega, and compatible boards. It provides GPS positioning data via a serial port connection (pins configurable to D0–D7) and includes a micro SD card slot for data logging.
An active IPC antenna is included for high receive sensitivity, and the shield supports both 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels for broad Arduino compatibility.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPS
- The US satellite navigation system used by GNSS receivers to calculate position and time. Support for GPS is important because it is widely available and often used together with other constellations for more reliable positioning.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
