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.
