🏁 Conclusion:
The FPV NEO-M8N GPS with Compass for DJI Naza M V1, V2 & Lite is a powerful and reliable navigation module, offering improved satellite performance and compass accuracy over older GPS units. It’s ideal for drone pilots who want better stability, faster GPS lock, and full GPS feature support on DJI Naza systems. With its plug-and-play design, multi-constellation capability, and integrated compass, this unit is a smart upgrade for any DJI Naza quadcopter build.
The FPV Ublox NEO-M8N GPS Module is a next-generation high-precision GPS receiver designed for FPV drones and UAV applications. Powered by a 72-channel Ublox M8 engine, it supports concurrent reception from GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS, and SBAS systems, offering outstanding accuracy and reliability — achieving positioning precision up to 0.6 meters.
Built around the Ublox NEO-M8N chipset, this module includes an onboard TCXO oscillator, SAW bandpass filter, and LNA (low-noise amplifier) for enhanced signal reception, even in noisy environments. A soft 30cm silicone gel cable with shielded wiring and a metal foil bottom label further reduce electromagnetic interference from other onboard electronics.
It’s specifically designed to be plug-and-play with DJI NAZA M V1 and V2 Lite flight controllers, and supports a 32-bit processor, far superior to the legacy 8-bit systems, ensuring faster data processing and better overall performance.
Note: Be sure to calibrate the electronic compass upon installation for optimal accuracy. Arrow on the module indicates the forward direction of the aircraft.
