This replaced an HGLRC M80 GPS. Should have been the equivalent GPS, but it wasn't. Beitian locks up faster and retains lock on more satellites. This is my go to GPS unit. 4 wires and boom - great 3D GPS lockup in about 30 seconds. I run the GPS from a USB source for a few hours before I fly, so that the almanac data is current. Once you get on the field, this unit usually locks up in less than a minute and retains good lock for the entire flight. It is sensitive to interference from control radio and video transmitter, I keep a few inches between the GPS and the other radios. Review: Hooks up to ublox center easily, has flash to store settings, picks up sats quickly! - Comes with long vinyl wires which are ~20cm in length. Would be nice if they were silicone, but that's fine. Has a little adhesive pad, too. Measurements fit perfectly for the 3d print i made to hold it on my quadcopter. Flashed and saved (which you can't do with the BN180) settings through ublox center to turn off QZSS and turn on Galileo and set the baud to 115k. Picks up satellites relatively quickly and really seems to hold on to them well, which is nice. The firmware that I use for my quadcopter, Betaflight, can flash most of these settings just fine, but sometimes it's touch and go - so it's nice to just have them permanently saved as is possible with the BN220. ## Features - BN-220 gps module has flash to save configuration, so you do not need to reset data next time when you use it. But it has no compass. If you need gps with flash and compass, please buy bn-880 - When you use it for Raspberry Pi, there is no driver needed but you need to install software - The TX LED flash means gps module output normally.The PPS LED flash means gps module locate your place - Data Level : TTL or RS-232,Default TTL level. To make it be RS232 output, you need to use one TTL to RS232 converter cable - BN 220 gps module documentation link cannot be displayed.

When you power up, LEDs on the GPS will indicate whether or not it’s communicating and getting a satellite lock. **Q: Can this plu right into an iflight succex-e f7 flight controller? or do i have to solder it in?** A: You need 5volt a ground a RX and a TX now if you have a plug on your flight controller that has that and some of them do that’s where it needs to go but I can tell you this it’s worth putting it on either way because it’s saved me from loose n my drone 10 times and coming from some one thats lost 4 dji drones that is some thing worth have n and you can set it up in beta flight to kick in and fly back at you at signal lost so but that’s what you need and also keep up with the number of rd and tx u use because you have to turn them on in BF and set. Up gps **Q: What is the part number for the small onboard battery?** A: I don't know that answer because I never had to replace the battery yet due tack the battery out and the #is on the battery ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tried others, I keep coming back to this GPS *by C***S on April 23, 2023* Using on a sub250 quadcopter.
