It's 10PM, do you know where your Raspberry Pi is? If you had this GPS HAT, you would! This new HAT from Adafruit adds our celebrated Ultimate GPS on it, so you can add precision time and location to your Raspberry Pi Model Pi 3, Pi Zero, A+, B+, or Pi 2, 3, & 4

Here's the low-down on the GPS module:

-165 dBm sensitivity, 10 Hz updates, 66 channels
Only 20mA current draw
Built in Real Time Clock (RTC) - slot in a CR1220 backup battery for 7-years or more of timekeeping even if the Raspberry Pi is off!
PPS output on fix, by default connected to pin #4
Internal patch antenna which works quite well when used outdoors + u.FL connector for external active antenna for when used indoors or in locations without a clear sky view
Fix status LED blinks to let you know when the GPS has determined the current coordinates

We spun up a HAT based on our Ultimate GPS, added a coin-cell holder for RTC usage, break-outs for all the Raspberry Pi's extra pins, and plenty of prototyping area for adding LEDs, sensors, and more.

Please note, this HAT takes over the Raspberry Pi's hardware UART to send/receive data to and from the GPS module. So, if you need to use the RX/TX pins with a console cable, you cannot also use this HAT. Instead, you'll have to use a composite or HDMI monitor and keyboard to log in, or use ssh to connect over the network to your Pi. Read up on our tutorial for more information on how to use this fine HAT

Comes as a fully assembled GPS + PCB and an additional 2x20 GPIO header. Some light soldering is required to attach the 2x20 GPIO header to the HAT but it's fast and easy for anyone with a soldering iron and solder. You can also swap the plain female header we have with a 'stacky' type that lets you plug in a hat or GPIO cable on top or a slim ultra-low-profile header.

To make air-shipping eaiser, this HAT does not come with a 12mm coin battery! A CR1220 will let you use the real-time-clock capability of the GPS HAT, you can pick one up locally or order one from us.

Adafruit Ultimate GPS HAT for Raspberry Pi (Mini Kit)

Works really well, good reception next to an east facing window (UK) using the internal antenna. Using the script at https://github.com/beta-tester/RPi-GPS-PPS-StratumOne is a 20 minute/10 command setup from first boot. Only four start because the board is oversized and won't fit in an official case with the lid on. Rain last night smoked it.

Headers need soldering, but other than than just works reliably as you would expect. Needs an external antenna for a good signal unless in line of sight of the sky/satellites so I would consider the SMA to uFL/u cable to be essential.
