CC4000 GPS Module Kit

Know where you are when the need arises with TI’s SimpleLink™ CC4000 GPS solution. TI’s CC4000 GPS solution provides a quick, accurate, low cost path to add GPS positioning technology to your product. With unmatched performance, TI’s CC4000 can deliver accuracy better than 3 meters with autonomous time to fix of 35 seconds. CC4000s’ “Watchful Eye” technology automatically maintains satellite positioning information allowing your solution to stay in low power modes longer.

A slim driver coupled with modules from the world’s leading manufacturers reduces development time, complexity and cost by allowing you to get to market quicker with known system performance.
