I wanted to get my speed with this but it will also be very helpful in finding a lost quad if that ever happens. I haven't tried the return to home. It seems like really experienced pilots have had trouble getting that feature to work properly so I doubt I've figured it out. I hope I never have to find out, but if I do have to try it and it fails, I'll have the longitude and Latitude to go find the thing. $20 is a really cheap insurance policy to protect several hundred dollars worth of equipment. If you crash and lose a $400 quad with a $400 GoPro on it, you'll wish you had spent the $20 on this. When you plug in the first time it will flash 0 Satellites and 0.000000 for your GPS coordinates. After a minute or two it will start giving the GPS coordinates but still flash 0 Satellites. If you arm and fly at this point it will flash something about no RTH function. After 5 minutes it will start listing satellites. Once you have 8, you're good to go. Review: Seems as reliable as any other GPS - I'm using this unit with a Teensy 3.2 using Serial1. The results seem not too different than cheaper units with passive antennas. See my image of the GPS unit sitting on my desk and recording GPS coordinates every second for 90 minutes. The red plot is this BN-880 unit (Active antenna) the purple plot is the same setup but with a different unit that has a passive antenna. The difference you see is typical for these units. I'm hoping more testing with a moving GPS sensor will get better results that passive filters. The added compass may help some people. The unit seems to power up very fast when hot, like < 1 sec. Cold < 1 min. To get this unit working Pins GPS Teensy White GND Yellow 3v3 Green Rx Red Tx Install TinyGPSPlus (TinyGPS will NOT read altitude and other items). Note TinyGPSPlus has more/better methods to determine valid data. The FullExample.ino is a fine place to start but make sure you change the baud rate in the ino to 9600. And note to use Teensy hardware serial and NOT softwareserial. ## Features - bn 880 gps module is gps + glonass in default. It is possibel to change it to be gps + beidou in u center software. - Baud Rate: 4800,9600,19200,38400,57600,112500bps (default 9600) - bn 880 gps module has flash to save configuration. So you do not need to reset data when you use it next time. - You can check bn180 bn220 gps module via "Visit the DIYmalls Store" - If you have any problem, please do as follow: click "DIYmalls"(you can find "Sold by DIYmalls" under Buy Now button), in the new page, click "Ask a question". ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B086ZKFFY4 | | Additional Features | Dual Module Compass, Electronic Compass IC HMC5883L | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,153 in GPS System Accessories | | Brand | DIYmalls | | Built-In Media | 1x BN-880 GPS Module with Cable | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Drone | | Connectivity Protocol | Cellular | | Connectivity Technology | 6pin cable | | Control Method | App | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 156 Reviews | | Human-Interface Input | Buttons | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 1.1"L x 1.1"W x 0.39"H | | Item Weight | 0.56 Ounces | | Manufacturer | DIYmalls | | Map Types | Worldwide | | Model Name | BN-880 | | Mounting Type | Windshield Mount, found in image | | Resolution | 9600 | | Screen Size | 2 Inches | | Special Feature | Dual Module Compass, Electronic Compass IC HMC5883L | | Supported Satellite Navigation System | GPS | | UPC | 747356637572 | | Vehicle Service Type | Drone | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DIYmalls - **Connectivity Technology:** 6pin cable - **Included Components:** 1x BN-880 GPS Module with Cable - **Map Type:** Worldwide - **Model Name:** BN-880 - **Mounting Type:** Windshield Mount, found in image - **Resolution:** 9600 - **Screen Size:** 2 Inches - **Special Feature:** Dual Module Compass, Electronic Compass IC HMC5883L - **Vehicle Service Type:** Drone ## Images ![BN-880 GPS Receiver Module with Flash Compass Support GPS Glonass Beidou NMEA-0183 9600bps 1Hz for Arduino - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZUfndGDJL.jpg) ![BN-880 GPS Receiver Module with Flash Compass Support GPS Glonass Beidou NMEA-0183 9600bps 1Hz for Arduino - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GsiMWCvjL.jpg) ![BN-880 GPS Receiver Module with Flash Compass Support GPS Glonass Beidou NMEA-0183 9600bps 1Hz for Arduino - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610WOZNi39L.jpg) ![BN-880 GPS Receiver Module with Flash Compass Support GPS Glonass Beidou NMEA-0183 9600bps 1Hz for Arduino - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613Wk9CSFcL.jpg) ![BN-880 GPS Receiver Module with Flash Compass Support GPS Glonass Beidou NMEA-0183 9600bps 1Hz for Arduino - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LKJp1QeYL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: how is the compass oriented, and how is direction transmitted?** A: referring to the description pictures you will see the heading symbol is opposite the connector. on the antenna side you will see a "tick" mark indicating heading. the connections depend on the application. in my case i am using it with an APM 2.8 flight control module that facilitates two connections. one for the gps input and the other for the compass input **Q: can this hook to a raspberry pi zero 2 W? if so, how?** A: I have not purchased one but if it has the same GPIO as it's cohorts (Pi4, Pi3, 0), then yes. The GPS requires TX and RX. The compass needs SDA and SCL. **Q: Can i get a silicon cable? the original cable melts when soldered. what is the connector type if i can make my own?** A: 1.25mm 6pin **Q: is the usb serial dongle included?** A: Not included.

I wish the color coating of the wires were more uniform does not work well in buildings. ## Frequently Bought Together - DIYmalls BN-880 GPS Module HMC5883 Compass Support GPS Glonass Beidou NMEA-0183 9600bps 1Hz for Arduino RC FPV Drone Flight Control - SpeedyBee F405 Wing Flight Controller Stack: Support INAV Ardupilot APP Wireless Configuration 11 PWM Solder-Free Multilayer FC PDB Board - HGLRC M100-5883 GPS Compass Module, Upgraded 10th Generation Chip Compatible with FPV Fixed-Wing UAV --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/206742806-bn-880-gps-receiver-module-with-flash-compass-support-gps](https://www.desertcart.in/products/206742806-bn-880-gps-receiver-module-with-flash-compass-support-gps) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-07-01*
