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 u-blox 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 u-blox 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
Arduino IDE(1.0.6V)
10kΩ resistor
4.7kΩ resistor
Wires
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, a small voltage divider is set in place, using a 4.7kOhm (with pink stripe) and a 10kOhm resistor (black/orange stripes). That means for the RX wire, a wire from digital port 4 to the 4.7k resistor, then to the 10k, which is tied to Ground. Where the two resistors are connected, we get the voltage from to the RX port of the GPS module.
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 TinyGPS 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/TinyGPS.
Open the “t
est_with_gps_device.ino” from the examples folder. This module uses baudrate 9600, so in the setup() method find the code “ss.begin(4800);” and replace it with ss.begin(9600);. Now upload the code and open the serial monitor. If the module fails to get a fix, try to use it near a window or outdoors. The fix could take several minutes.“test_with_gps_device.ino” has all the information you need. You will need to set a correct baud rate to 115200 and you are ready to go!
As you can see on my serial monitor I have got the latitude and longitude coordinates. if you get those stars at the beginning all over your serial monitor, wait the module until it is connected to the satellites. That’s all, have fun !!!
