Abstract
With the help of a GPS receiver (e.g. GY-NEO6MV2, ublox 6m), the long-term position can be calculated. Therefore, the GPS position values will be averaged.
Currently, GPS is used
- to receive current date and time
Wiring:
GPS VCC -- PCB VCC GPS GND -- PCB GND GPS TX -- PCB GPS RX GPS RX -- PCB GPS TX
Visualization of GPS data
GPS data (course, speed, position etc.) can be plotted by pfodApp. One neat thing I discovered is that you can get precise heading and speed even when moving short distances (< 2m). This works because the GPS receiver is evaluating the signal phase due to the doppler effect.

GPS error
Typical GPS error is 2-5 meters (at a sample rate of 1 Hz). As this is not sufficient as a replacement for a perimeter wire, GPS can only be seen as an extension or for global navigation (navigation from one lawn to another lawn).
