GPS receiver module USB Navilock NL-8022MU

The Navilock NL-8022MU is a compact USB GPS receiver module with a built-in antenna and a u-blox 8 chipset supporting L1 navigation signals (1575.42 MHz). Designed for connection via USB Type-A, the device provides high sensitivity positioning in a low-profile housing sized 62 × 62 × 21 mm. The NL-8022MU is intended for use with notebooks and routing or navigation software and is specifically designed to be mounted on light-coloured surfaces such as boats, campers or buses.
