GPS BN-220

GND (black) -> GND
TX (white) -> 4 (to arduinos RX Pin)
RX (green/yellow) -> 3 (to arduinos TX Pin)
VCC (red) -> 5V

Basic Example - Read NMEA Data​

Only display the raw NMEA data. Only SoftwareSerial is used. Check 👉 GPS Tutorial for troubleshooting or when using hardware serial instead (esp32).

Using TinyGPS++ Library​

With the TinyGPS++ library, you can parse the NMEA data and get the latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, date, time, etc.

Download the latest version of the library from 👉 TinyGPS++ and install it in the Arduino IDE.
