How to get started with GY-NEO6MV2 GPS Module
The GY-NEO6MV2 GPS module series is a family of stand-alone GPS receivers featuring the high performance 6 positioning engine. These flexible and cost effective receivers offer numerous connectivity options in a miniature 16 x 12.2 x 2.4 mm package. Their compact architecture and power and memory options make GY-NEO6MV2 modules ideal for battery operated mobile devices with very strict cost and space constraints.The 50-channel 6 positioning engine boasts a Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF) of under 1 second. The dedicated acquisition engine, with 2 million correlators, is capable of massive parallel time/frequency space searches, enabling it to find satellites instantly. Innovative design and technology suppresses jamming sources and mitigates multi-path effects, giving GY-NEO6MV2 GPS receivers excellent navigation performance even in the most challenging environments.

How to connect NEO6MV2 GPS Module with Arduino UNO?
Hardware and Software Required:
- NEO6MV2 GPS Module
- Arduino UNO
- Jumper Wires
Wiring
That means, you simple connect the 5V Power/VCC and Ground of your Arduino directly to the receiver. The same goes for the TX (green) wire, which gets conected to digital port 3 of your Arduino. For the RX wire to pin 4. Please wait for the module to get connected which is indicated by blinking of an LED.
Installing a library: TinyGPS
On Arduino, the reference and most advanced GPS lib is Mikal Hart’s TinyGPS. Head over to GitHub and download the latest release first.Download the NeoGPS library here. Once complete, unzip the content into your “libraries” subfolder of your Arduino IDE installation and restart the IDE itself. You should now have a new set of “Examples” under File/Examples/TinyGPSPlus-0.95a.
