Description
The M8N GPS Module with Compass is a high-precision positioning and navigation module designed for APM-based flight controllers. Powered by the reliable u-blox M8N chipset, it delivers fast satellite acquisition, stable tracking, and accurate coordinates. The module also includes an integrated magnetometer (compass) that provides heading data, essential for autonomous flight, waypoint missions, and stable loitering.
Its multi-GNSS support ensures strong performance even in challenging environments, while the built-in backup battery enables faster hot-starts. Compact and efficient, it is ideal for drones, robots, and other navigation-dependent systems.
