How It Works
The GP-02 receives positioning signals from navigation satellites and calculates the device's geographical position.
A typical embedded GPS project can be configured as:
GNSS Satellites → GP-02 Module → UART → ESP32 / Arduino / STM32 → GPS Application
The host microcontroller can process the received navigation data to determine parameters such as latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, and time.

- Provides valuable positioning and timing data for connected devices
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Does this GPS GNSS module work with Arduino and ESP32?
Yes. The GP-02 Kit communicates over standard UART using the NMEA protocol, which is universally supported across Arduino, ESP32, STM32, and any platform with a serial port. Use the TinyGPS++ library to parse latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, and time from the NMEA output with minimal code. The default baud rate is 9600 bps for most configurations.
Q2. Do I need an external antenna with this module?
No. The GP-02 Kit includes an integrated ceramic antenna onboard. You do not need to source, connect, or mount any additional antenna. The module also includes active antenna detection and protection, so it monitors antenna integrity automatically. For improved performance in heavily obstructed environments, some users add an optional active external antenna, but it is not required for typical outdoor use.
Q3. What satellite systems does this GPS GNSS module support?
The AT6558R chip supports six systems: BDS (BeiDou / China), GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (EU), QZSS (Japan), and SBAS augmentation systems (WAAS, EGNOS, GAGAN, MSAS). It can position using any single system independently or in any combination of systems simultaneously for maximum accuracy and availability.
Q4. What baud rate should I use to communicate with the GP-02 Kit?
The default baud rate is 9600 bps, which is standard for NMEA GPS modules. The module supports rates up to 256,000 bps if you need faster data throughput — for example when running at 10Hz update rate with multiple NMEA sentences enabled. Most Arduino and ESP32 projects work perfectly at 9600 bps for 1Hz updates.
Q5. What is the difference between the GP-02 module and the GP-02 Kit?
The GP-02 is the bare SMD module (10.3 × 9.9 mm) designed for PCB integration into custom products. The GP-02 Kit is the development board version — it mounts the GP-02 module along with pin headers, a Micro-USB power input, and supporting circuitry, making it ready to use with jumper wires and a breadboard without any soldering.
