which gps shield and module for Arduino Uno

I've heard good things about Adafruit's Ultimate GPS breakout board: http://adafruit.com/products/746

They have nice tutorial for it, too: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ultimate-gps

is that shield suitable for Arduino??     26.40$   +   free shipping

I don't think either would be compatible with a shield per se, but that last one says it does have TTL serial so I'm thinking you could probably communicate with the Arduino that way.  Hopefully some others in this group can chime in with GPS recommendations from projects they've worked on.

I have used the Sparkfun Venus module with an Arduino.

Write-up and code here: http://www.doctormonk.com/2012/05/sparkfun-venus-gps-and-arduino.html

thank you but venus gps module is (49.95 $ + shipping) nice price  

what do you think about http://dx.com/cn-06-gps-receiver-super-u-blox-gps-module-w-active-ceramic-antenna-mwc-149340?item=1

is it compatible with arduino?

It says its TTL UART - same as Venus - so, yes should be fine and my example code should work. It doesn't specify baud rate, so you may have to experiment.

At that price, its worth a go anyway!

datasheet of "U-blox NEO-6M GPS module".          at last i can find the datasheet

after looking at datasheet, can you say it is compatible with your "example code" and Arduino Uno R3 ??

What supply voltage does it use?

What is the voltage level of the serial connection?

Ideally, you want both to be 5V.

Power supply voltage (VCC)                  Min:2.7V      Typ:3.0V      Max:3.6V

Supply voltage USB (VDDUSB)             Min:3.0V      Typ:3.3V      Max:3.6V

can i conntect arduino's  3.7 V pin ?

Ah, okay, well the Uno can supply 50mA at 3.3V, how many mA does the module need?

If you connect the Tx of the module to the Rx of the Uno and DO NOTwire the Tx of the Uno to the Rx of the module, then the 5V Arduino will be able to read the 3.3v serial signal from the gps module. It will mean you have to take the default settings of the GPS module as far as baud rate etc goes. Its probably 9600 8N1 so you should be okay.

If you do decide you need to send data from the Uno to the GPS, you will have to use a level converter. Buts lets cross that bridge if we come to it

Condition :      VCC=3.0V

Icc Acquisition : 47mA

Icc Tracking (Max Performance mode) : 40mA

Icc Tracking (Eco mode) : 37mA

Icc Tracking (Power Save mode / 1 Hz) : 11mA

UARTBaud rate : 9600 (USB powered)

datasheet for neo-6 gps module

Looks like it should be just okay

Anything I haven't thought of anyone?

Thank you too much:) i will buy and try than i will write here :)

No problem. Please do post back - if they are any good, I'll probably get one too.

Did you see the brushless quadcopter motors for $13 on that web page? Amazingly cheap.

dealextreme is my nu 1 :) so cheap and free shipping :) i strongly reccomend.

I will also ask you about quadrocopter parts but not that time becouse im not at that level:)

Can i use  "logic level converter" to  convert 5.0V of arduino to gps's 3.6V

Or

Is arduino's 3,7V pin enough?

You can power it from the Arduino 3.3V power connection.

Remember do not connect the Arduino Tx to the GPS Rx - that will quite likely kill it.

Only connect the Arduino Rx to the GPS Tx,

GND to GND

and Arduiono 3.3V to GPS VCC.

Thank you again:) i bought it. It will be my hand 15 daysy later than i will post my experiences with you:)

There is also this one, very interesting:

helpful page thanks

Today i get my gps module.i tried, it works with simon.monk's code. thank you simon.monk.

i used arduino uno r3 and followed doctor monk's recommendations and codes and i did.

26.4 $ gps module works with arduino. i recommend it

it works nice
