Matek 's SAM-M8Q compact GPS module features a genuine UBlox M8 chip and supports positioning and navigation systems such as GPS/GLONASS/BDS/Galileo/QZSS/SBAS. The integrated GNSS RHCP patch antenna provides the best compromise between performance and small size, especially for mounting in UAV, robot, RC, FPV or other projects. Ideal for use with INAV and other firmware.
Features
72-channel u-blox M8 module with support for multiple geopositioning systems simultaneously, such as L1C / A, SBAS L1C / A, QZSS L1C / A, QZSS L1 SAIF, GLONASS L1OF, Galileo E1B / C
Built-in 3.3V low noise voltage regulator and RF filter for noise blocking
Optional LNA amplifier for optimized performance and front SAW filter for improved noise immunity
Low power consumption
Integrated 15 x 15 mm GNSS RHCP ceramic patch antenna
Rechargeable battery for hot start of GPS module
LED power indicator (red) and time pulse indicator (blue)
Supports INAV / Betaflight / Ardupilot etc.

Recommendations
GPS, GLONASS, SBAS, QZSS enabled by default
Default update rate 1Hz and baud rate 9600 bps
Blue flashing LED PPS (1Hz) indicates 3D fixing
The baud rate of 9600 ~ 115200 is supported by INAV / BF / Ardupilot firmware.
Update rate 5Hz with INAV UBLOX protocol
Update rate 10Hz with INAV UBLOX7 protocol
BF does not support GPS and RTH position fixing, GPS Rescue mode is supported in BF3.5 or later versions
The label on the ceramic antenna is proof of ublox authenticity
