3D Robotics u-blox GPS+Compass - Manual

MOUNTING TIPS
When mounting the GPS to your vehicle,
place the GPS module (with antenna
facing up) outside your vehicle with a
clear view of the sky, as far as possible
from potential sources of magnetic
interference such as motors and speed
controllers. For copters and rovers, we
recommend elevating the GPS module.
