Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout

Post by N2NXZ »

Finding a sea of info so going to just ask here.
Is there any issues using the Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout rather than the uBLOX MAX-7 Breakout?
I do not want to spend 80 dollars if 50 dollars will work the same for high altitude balloon tracking.

Trying to save money yet get the same results.

The uBlox product page says it's rated to 50,000 meters. Ours has a theoretical limit of 40,000 meters, but the highest in-the-field altitude anyone ever told us about was 32,000 meters.

If you need the additional altitude, go with the uBlox unit.
