External GPS and compass

ArduRover Rover 3.3 / 3.4

I have been using an M8N GPS/Compass combo on my Arduboat mounted outside the hull in a waterproof box. The Arduboat is too large to calibrate the compass by rotating the entire vehicle and removing the M8N connector multiple times has caused slop in the connector.

I would like to mount the M8N GPS receiver and compass inside the hull and route a waterproof GPS antenna outside via a coax cable. I can either use a combo GPS/Compass or separate the GPS Rx and I2C compass.

jDrones has what I need but is out-of-stock so I’m looking for a similar product

I’ve ping’d some of the other developer to see if they have any ideas…

My suggestion would be to have a look at

They also have mag breakouts

Here, you can use the u.fl connector to attach an antenna, or solder an sma connector to the pads, or solder a coax cable directly to the pads
