Satellite navigation - what is GNSS?
GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite Systems and stands for a global navigation system that covers the entire earth. The most important task of GNSS is determining the user's position. The GNSS systems also include the GPS Global Positioning System and GLONASS. Are you wondering how satellite navigation works? It is a type of radio navigation, which is why it uses radio waves that are broadcast from artificial satellites to determine the position of points and moving receivers along with the parameters of their movement on the Earth's surface.
The outputs of the modules are Qwiic connectors and solder pads.
