NEO-M8N GPS + Compass (APM/Pixhawk)

NEO-M8N GPS + Compass (APM/Pixhawk) 

Enhance the navigation accuracy of your drone, UAV, or autonomous vehicle with the NEO-M8N GPS Module featuring an integrated digital compass. Designed for seamless compatibility with APM and Pixhawk flight controllers, this high-performance GNSS module provides fast satellite acquisition, reliable positioning, and precise heading information for advanced flight operations.

Powered by the u-blox NEO-M8N chipset, the module supports multiple satellite constellations including GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and QZSS, ensuring faster lock times and improved accuracy even in challenging environments. The built-in HMC5883L/QMC5883L compass delivers accurate heading data for stable navigation, waypoint missions, Return-to-Home (RTH), and autonomous flight modes.
