Specifications

The Skylab GM20 is a complete GPS module that features super sensitivity, ultra low power
 and small form factor. The GPS signal is applied to the antenna input of module, and a complete
serial data message with position, velocity and time information is presented at the serial interface
with NMEA protocol or custom protocol.
Its -160dBm tracking sensitivity extends positioning coverage into place like urban canyons
and dense foliage environment where the GPS was not possible before. The small form factor
and low power consumption make the module easy to integrate into portable device like PNDs,
mobile phones, cameras and vehicle navigation systems.
