Review: compass output is separate from the GPS - Very sensitive. GPS which easily gets a fix indoors, something my handheld gps cannot do. Note that the compass output is separate from the GPS output. GPS uses Tx Rx and outputs NMEA sentences. Compass uses I2c and outputs integers that are proportional to the X,Y,Z magnetic field. The compass output can be converted to a direction, but only when the unit is level. You need an accelerometer to make the equivalent of a gimbaled compass. Both the compass and GPS work well, but it's better to think of this thing as two devices that use a common power supply than one integrated unit.
Review: Great GPS - Great gps, bought 2 for a couple multicopter builds I’m working on to test out experimental gps functions in Betaflight. Gps and compass lock on quickly (after first initial power on). Come’s with a few connector options but for me I was able to solder directly to one flight controller while the other flight controller requires a 6pin jst-sh connector which doesn’t come with this product so I had to find a source for that connector before getting it to work.

## Features

- BN-880 is suitable for Open source flight controller, not for flight control with SCM
- Bn 880 gps module is dual module compass, with and electronic compass IC HMC5883L
- Bn 880 gps module has flash to save configuration. So you do not need to reset next time when you use it
- DIts data Level is TTL or RS-232, Default TTL level. To make it be RS232 output, you need to use one TTL to RS232 converter cable
- When you use it for Raspberry Pi, there is no driver needed but you need to install software

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it compatable with raspberry pi? suitable speed for in car navigation? drivers available for raspberry pi?**
A: This BN-880 GPS is compatible with Raspberry Pi. You can use it after everything connect well, no driver needed. It is suitable for car navigation

**Q: One review cites orientation in 'reviews'- and inav has a compass orientation value.  if so: which direction is default forward?**
A: Hi. The end opposed to the wiring is the front for the compass. The top is opposed to the side with the label. Hope this helps you.

**Q: Can it be used with eagle tree micro vector**
A: Does the eagle tree micro vector has TX and RX interface? If yes, it can work

**Q: Will this work with naza m v2?**
A: Yes, it can work with naza m v2. If you have any issue when using this product, please contact us directly for assistance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ compass output is separate from the GPS

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great GPS
*by D***6 on September 10, 2018*

Great gps, bought 2 for a couple multicopter builds I’m working on to test out experimental gps functions in Betaflight. Gps and compass lock on quickly (after first initial power on). Come’s with a few connector options but for me I was able to solder directly to one flight controller while the other flight controller requires a 6pin jst-sh connector which doesn’t come with this product so I had to find a source for that connector before getting it to work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delivered as expected.
*by B***A on May 17, 2019*

Works like I expected. There are a couple of things. First the wiring harness is not setup for my controller. It is way to small (1.0 pitch) to be able to redo the JST connector so I had to remove the plug and hard solder directly to the board. This is easier then trying to redo the JST connectors but still difficult. The second issue is that the GPS can take a few minutes to acquire enough satellites to acquire fix the first time out for the day. After that it may take 30 second each time. This is little longer then expected.
