BN-220 Dual GPS Glonass Module Navigation TTL Level 9600bps + GPS Passive Antenna for Arduino Raspberry Pi Pixhawk F3 CC3D Betaflight F4 Flight Control

Using on a sub250 quadcopter. This replaced an HGLRC M80 GPS. Should have been the equivalent GPS, but it wasn't. Beitian locks up faster and retains lock on more satellites. This is my go to GPS unit. 4 wires and boom - great 3D GPS lockup in about 30 seconds. I run the GPS from a USB source for a few hours before I fly, so that the almanac data is current. Once you get on the field, this unit usually locks up in less than a minute and retains good lock for the entire flight. It is sensitive to interference from control radio and video transmitter, I keep a few inches between the GPS and the other radios.

Comes with long vinyl wires which are ~20cm in length. Would be nice if they were silicone, but that's fine. Has a little adhesive pad, too. Measurements fit perfectly for the 3d print i made to hold it on my quadcopter. Flashed and saved (which you can't do with the BN180) settings through ublox center to turn off QZSS and turn on Galileo and set the baud to 115k. Picks up satellites relatively quickly and really seems to hold on to them well, which is nice. The firmware that I use for my quadcopter, Betaflight, can flash most of these settings just fine, but sometimes it's touch and go - so it's nice to just have them permanently saved as is possible with the BN220.

Excellent little GPS... takes about 2 -3 minutes the first time and then about 10-15 seconds after that.. I cant complain about this thing at all! It has worked great on my Nazgul5 quad

Connects fast after the first time, wish the cable was longer...I lengthened it. I used it with the ZOHD Kopilot.

Excellent Gps!, came to life the minute I plugged into Betaflight, the sticky back foam disk works great, Shipping was next day super fast!, couldn’t be happier!

I am using this for a GPS device in my car that will light up the LED when I get close to key Points of Interest to remind me of things I keep forgetting (i.e. remember your Chuck-It when you leave the dog park). The picture is a prototype I whipped up to test the unit, as it is my first GPS project. I used arduino nano controller, with the NeoGPS library. Very easy to setup. My first satellite lock took less than a minute, and nearly instant when I am outside. It even gets a lock sitting on my desk indoors which was a surprise and helps for development.

I am using this on a boat. I used a usb to serial module to connect it to the u-blox connect software, so I could change the baud rate to 4800 which is the NMEA 0183 standard. Changes are stored in non volatile memory on this unit, which is not the case on some u-blox receivers. I tested it indoors in a location which is challenging for my other GPS receivers, and it made a fix after a couple minutes. It is much faster to get a fix in the boat. I liked that it came with connectors, they would be hard to find otherwise.

Put on my Diatone Roma F5 quadcopter. Wrapped in electrical tape for protection. It takes a couple minutes to get a gps lock even when i haven’t moved far, i guess it’s cause i don’t have it mounted in a perfect place but it gets the job done

Pretty easy to setup, only 4 wires to solder. As I recall, the diagram is from the bottom compared to when I was looking at the decal side, so pay attention to polarity. The data lines are less critical, if the board doesn't get data, try switching the line to the pins on the board. I have cobbled together an 8 item menu sketch and added a BME-280 to the circuit to get temperature and to pressures, and to compute an altitude. The GPS altitude is generally more accurate though it will fluctuate due to satellite geometry. On average though it is sufficiently accurate for my needs. I run it primarily on an ESP32 board and drive the menu using 2 wires to the touch pins to select the case that I want to view. It can all be built in to a small package when using a 1.56" OLED screen.

Das GPS ist heute für eine meiner FPV gekommen und wurde direkt verbaut. Es macht grundsätzlich einen guten Eindruck und funktioniert. Ein Feldtest ist noch offen, die GPS Verbindung wurde in Betaflight aber erkannt. Es sollte also alles funktionieren. Warum ich nur 3 Sterne vergebe liegt an dem billigen Zubehör. Die Kabel sind kaum wärmebeständig. Selbst beim Löten mit niedrigen Temperaturen kann das Kabel kaum geklemmt werden ohne die Isolierung zu zerdrücken. Man darf das Kabel eigentlich nur leicht auf die Lötstelle legen/drücken. Es war eine riesige Fummelei… Wenn hier die Qualität noch steigt gebe ich auch gerne mehr Punkte.

5 Satteliten mitten in deutschland. mit einem original BN 220 getestet 12 Satteliten. auf keinem fall kaufen

Very good module. Works as expected. Easy to interface with raspberry pi. I got gps fix even inside the house

I’m using this gps mainly for a speedometer on a quad . Works great and is quite compact.
