Product description: GNSS Combo Breakout Module - ZED-F9P, NEO-D9S - Qwiic - SparkFun GPS-22560
GNSS Combo Breakout contains two powerful systems - the precise u-blox ZED-F9P GNSS module with the NEO-D9S L-band GNSS correction data receiver, which combined constitute an advanced , multi-band GNSS and GPS location module. The use of such systems allows positioning with centimeter accuracy in the X, Y and Z axes, without the need to use separate RTK or NTRIP corrections. The NEO-D9S can be configured with a variety of L-band equalization services, including u-blox's PointPerfect service. The board also has two USB Type-C connectors (separate for each system), through which you can connect the module to a computer and configure the device using u-blox u-center.

Briefly about GNSS
GNSS, i.e. Global Navigation Satellite Systems, includes networks of satellites that enable determining positions over the entire Earth's surface. This family includes systems such as GPS (Global Positioning System) and GLONASS, which provide extensive location functions for many users. How does satellite navigation work? Everything is based on the principle of radio navigation and the use of radio signals sent by satellites. Thanks to GNSS, you can determine your location or plot a route to any place on Earth.
Note: PointPerfect L-band correction service for SparkFun GNSS Combo Breakout Kit - ZED-F9P, NEO-D9S is currently only available in the 48 contiguous US and European Union states shown on the coverage map. More information about PointPerfect can be found here .
