Frequently asked questions

Does the GPS work with other microcontrollers as well?
Yes, but check compatibility on the datasheets.

How much space does the code take up?
The code is very small, just 100 bytes.

Does the GPS work outside the city?
Yes, but accuracy decreases in areas with fewer satellite signals.

How long does the battery last?
Check the datasheet, it depends on the detection frequency.
