For those developing, engineering and designing embedded systems with intelligent positioning, timing or navigation capabilities, professional-grade GPS board are a must. These miniature embedded receiver boards enable you to integrate centimetre-level positioning into your custom system, delivering the high-accuracy true GNSS data needed for space-constrained applications such as UAV navigation, autonomous vehicle tracking, IoT integration and industrial control systems.
Unlike the off-the-shelf GPS chips in everyday smartphones and navigation devices, professional-grade GPS systems found on board for Arduino provide better accuracy and precision, as well as letting you use them in more challenging ways to get a complex fix, such as better multipath rejection. Most new systems are compatible with multi-constellation signals like GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS, which achieve rapid position-fixing, higher accuracy and urban canyon and forest environment positioning while reducing the signal losses that can be encountered in obstructed environments such as dense city cores, along with forests or construction areas.
Top-quality GPS boards also enable the use of real-time correction services like RTK (real-time kinematic) and PPP (precise point positioning), so centimetre-level accuracy is a possibility for your most mission-critical tasks. This level of accuracy is what makes a real difference to operations, enabling safe automated machine control, precise mapping workflows, reliable fleet telematics and robust navigation for unmanned systems.
