General Description
The SkyNav SKM53 Series with embedded GPS
antenna enables high performance navigation in the most
stringent applications and solid fix even in harsh GPS
visibility environments.
It is based on the high performance features of the
MediaTek 3339 single-chip architecture, Its –165dBm
tracking sensitivity extends positioning coverage into
place like urban canyons and dense foliage environment
where the GPS was not possible before. The 6-pin
UART connector design is the easiest and convenient
solution to be embedded in a portable device and
receiver like PND, GPS mouse, car holder, personal
locator, speed camera detector and vehicle locator.
Applications:
LBS (Location Based Service)
Vehicle navigation system
PND (Portable Navigation Device)
GPS mouse and Bluetooth GPS receiver
Timing application
Features:
Ultra high sensitivity: -165dBm
22 tracking/66 acquisition-channel receiver
WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS/GAGAN support
NMEA protocols (default speed: 9600bps)
Internal back-up battery
One serial port
Embedded patch antenna 18.2 x 18.2 x 4.0 mm
Operating temperature range: -40 to 85℃
RoHS compliant (Lead-free)
Tiny form factor :30mm x20mm x 8.5m

Note: Although a 'PPS' terminal is listed in this documentation, the modules in this listing have an 'NC' designation for this terminal.
Note: As per the data sheet, serial communication is LVTTL, which means sending data to it on a 5V signal could damage the item. It has never happened to me in extensive testing, however, to be completely safe, I sell a separate voltage translator board for this purpose - see my other auctions.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the items, and happy bidding!
