We've supplemented this with a \u003cstrong\u003esupercapacitor\u003c\/strong\u003e, which acts like a short term backup battery for your GPS data, enabling the module to lock back onto signals much more quickly after a power down. There's also an \u003cstrong\u003eindicator LED\u003c\/strong\u003e, which will flash whenever the module has a satellite fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou could hook one of these up to a weather station or other measuring device to give your data really accurate time, date and location stamps - or go a step further and team it with one of our display breakouts to build your own modular GPS navigation system or \u003ca title=\"Geocaching site\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/play\" target=\"_blank\"\u003etreasure hunting device.\u003c\/a\u003e (Please don't rely on this breakout as your sole navigation device at sea or in the wilderness!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can attach it to your Pi's GPIO directly or via a breadboard with the included headers, but it's also compatible with our fancy solderless \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/breakout-garden-hat-i2c-spi\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBreakout Garden\u003c\/a\u003e, which makes it easy to use several different breakouts at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike solar panels, rocket ships and humans, these GPS modules work best when they have an uninterrupted view of the sky. If it's taking a long time to get a satellite fix, try taking it outside or pointing the antenna upwards or towards a window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cdtop-tech.com\/products\/pa1010d\" title=\"PA1010D feature list\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePA1010D \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cdtop-tech.com\/products\/pa1010d\" title=\"PA1010D feature list\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGPS \/ GLONASS \/ GALILEO receiver module\u003c\/a\u003e with inbuilt ceramic antenna (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/files\/CD_PA1010D_Datasheet_v.03.pdf?v=1602073146\" title=\"PA1010D GPS module datasheet\" target=\"_blank\"\u003edatasheet\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports up to 210 PRN channels with 99 search channels and 33 simultaneous tracking channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-high sensitivity: -165dBm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh accuracy 1-PPS timing support (±20ns jitter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuper capacitor\u003c\/strong\u003e, which saves satellite locations and status in the event of a power down.
