Datasheet

When the code runs it will print a message every second to the REPL, either an update that it's still waiting for a GPS

fix:

Or once a fix has been established (make sure the GPS module has a good view of the sky!) it will print details about

the current location and other GPS data:

Let's look at the code in a bit more detail to understand how it works. First the example needs to import a few

modules like the built-in busio and board modules that access serial ports and other hardware:

gps.timestamp_utc.tm_min, # month!

gps.timestamp_utc.tm_sec))

print('Latitude: {} degrees'.format(gps.latitude))

print('Longitude: {} degrees'.format(gps.longitude))

print('Fix quality: {}'.format(gps.fix_quality))

# Some attributes beyond latitude, longitude and timestamp are optional

# and might not be present. Check if they're None before trying to use!

if gps.satellites is not None:

print('# satellites: {}'.format(gps.satellites))

if gps.altitude_m is not None:

print('Altitude: {} meters'.format(gps.altitude_m))

if gps.track_angle_deg is not None:

print('Speed: {} knots'.format(gps.speed_knots))

if gps.track_angle_deg is not None:

print('Track angle: {} degrees'.format(gps.track_angle_deg))

if gps.horizontal_dilution is not None:

print('Horizontal dilution: {}'.format(gps.horizontal_dilution))

if gps.height_geoid is not None:

print('Height geo ID: {} meters'.format(gps.height_geoid))
