Hi,

It seems to cheap to be true, is it just the antenna? I'm new to this and I have three devices that i need to connect and I was hoping that I could find a cheaper way of doing it than getting the shields. Else I found a GPS transmitter that works over USB.

NMEA-0183 and 9600 bps

Any help is much appreciated :slight_smile: sorry for all the german content

Hi, Your GPS antena needs a GPS. It's the thing that takes the satelite signals and outputs the position.
Instead of using the usb you can try this: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/grove-gps-p-959.html?cPath=144_145
