We've supplemented this with a \u003cstrong\u003esupercapacitor\u003c\/strong\u003e, which acts like a short term backup battery for your GPS data, enabling the module to lock back onto signals much more quickly after a power down. There's also an \u003cstrong\u003eindicator LED\u003c\/strong\u003e, which will flash whenever the module has a satellite fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou could hook one of these up to a weather station or other measuring device to give your data really accurate time, date and location stamps - or go a step further and team it with one of our display breakouts to build your own modular GPS navigation system or \u003ca title=\"Geocaching site\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/play\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/play\" target=\"_blank\"\u003etreasure hunting device.\u003c\/a\u003e (Please don't rely on this breakout as your sole navigation device at sea or in the wilderness!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can attach it to your Pi's GPIO directly or via a breadboard with the included headers, but it's also compatible with our fancy solderless \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/breakout-garden-hat-i2c-spi\" data-mce-href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/breakout-garden-hat-i2c-spi\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBreakout Garden\u003c\/a\u003e, which makes it easy to use several different breakouts at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike solar panels, rocket ships and humans, these GPS modules work best when they have an uninterrupted view of the sky.
