You can explore u-blox M9 performance with u-start evaluation tool in four simple steps:

installed when connecting the kit to the PC for the first time (requires internet connection).
A removable flash device called XPLR-M9 will be visible in the PC after automatic driver
installation.

all the changes that have been made to it previously are discarded.
