GPS module

Satellite location chip

A GPS module is an electronic component that receives signals from satellites to determine geographic location.

Found in smartphones, car navigation systems, drones, and fitness trackers, these modules provide coordinates, speed, and time data to the devices they're built into.

The drone's GPS module helps it maintain a stable hover position.
