## Summary description

The Arduino MKR GPS Shield is a compact GPS logger shield designed for Arduino compatibility. With dimensions of 25 mm width and 45 mm depth, it weighs only 14 g, making it lightweight and easy to integrate into projects. This shield allows for precise location tracking and is ideal for applications in navigation and outdoor activities.

## Long description

The Arduino MKR GPS Shield is a compact GPS logger shield based on the u‑blox SAM‑M8Q GNSS module, designed for use with boards in the MKR form factor. It supports concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS and Galileo signals for reliable positioning and can be connected directly on top of an MKR board via headers or to any compatible board using the supplied ESLOV cable and connector. With a small footprint (25 mm × 45 mm) and a weight of 14 g, the MKR GPS Shield is suitable for projects that require device localization and simple plug‑and‑play setup.
Advantages
The shield integrates the u‑blox SAM‑M8Q GNSS receiver for multi‑constellation positioning and offers both serial and I2C interfaces for flexible communication with Arduino boards. It mounts directly on MKR headers or connects through an ESLOV cable, enabling use with a variety of host boards. Its compact size and low weight make it easy to add location tracking without significant space or weight penalties.
Suitable for
Fleet monitoring prototypes and vehicle tracking
High‑altitude or atmospheric scientific experiments
Outdoor navigation and trekking devices
Any project requiring device localization with Arduino MKR boards
Key specifications
GNSS module: u‑blox SAM‑M8Q (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo)
Interfaces: UART (serial) via headers; I2C via ESLOV cable
Form factor: Arduino MKR compatible
Dimensions: 25 mm (W) × 45 mm (D)
Weight: 14 g
Manufacturer: Arduino, MPN ASX00017, EAN 7630049201248
How to use
Place the MKR GPS Shield on top of an Arduino MKR board aligning the headers, or connect it to a compatible host board using the supplied ESLOV cable and connector. If mounted on MKR headers, use the serial (UART) interface for communication; if using the ESLOV cable, select the I2C interface. Power the host board and initialize the GNSS module using standard Arduino libraries or u‑blox‑compatible code to receive positioning data.
Usage recommendations
For optimal satellite reception, position the device with a clear view of the sky and avoid metal obstructions. Use the provided ESLOV cable when the shield cannot be mounted directly on an MKR header. Consult u‑blox documentation and Arduino libraries for configuration and power‑saving options appropriate to your application.
