L76X GPS HAT 

User Manual 

 

OVERVIEW 

This is a Raspberry Pi GNSS HAT which supports Multi-GNSS systems: GPS, BDS, and QZSS, with 

advantages such as fast positioning, high accuracy, low power consumption, and so on. 

It is an easy way to enable global positioning function for your Raspberry Pi. 

FEATURES 

 

Supports Multi-GNSS systems: GPS, BDS, and QZSS 

 

EASY™, self track prediction technology, help quick positioning

 

 

AlwaysLocate™, intelligent controller of periodic mode for power saving
