Built in Real Time Clock (RTC) – slot in a CR1220 backup battery for 7-years or more of timekeeping even if the Raspberry Pi is off!
Internal patch antenna which works quite well when used outdoors + u.FL connector for external active antenna for when used indoors or in locations without a clear sky view
Fix status LED blinks to let you know when the GPS has determined the current coordinates
Raspberry Pi *not* included

Combined with an external antenna, the board worked perfectly.

Works well. I am using it for the pulse per second signal for a NTP server. The hat is always locked on to at least 6 satellites at all times. I have it fitted to a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. Consistently get .002ms offset from real time – I think most of that is the Pi itself. When I use gpscmd my location (the antenna is stationary) varies consistently with the dither built into the GPS signal.
Configuration: Installed on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. I am using a 28dB waterproof GPS active antenna by QGP Supply. Antenna sits in a south facing window with a clear view of the horizon. I am at about 38°N 95°W

Awesome board! I used this is build a Stratum 1 PPS GPS NTP server using a Raspberry Pi B+ board. Make sure you have a soldering iron and a little soldering experience as the GPIO connector needs to be soldered on. I purchased an external antenna and set it by my office window. With PPS, I am able to keep nanosecond accurate time which is incredible!
