MATEK GPS & COMPASS MODULE M8Q-5883

This is hands-down the smallest most accurate and functional GPS+Compass module I’ve ever seen! That’s why I stocked them in my store! If you are in need of an arrow that points home and you also want Lat and Long on your OSD, then this module is for you! It’s tiny tiny tiny compared to any other GPS on the market! It’s literally 1/4th of the size of the standard module!
