GY-NEO-6MV2 New NEO-6M GPS Module NEO6MV2 With EEPROM MWC APM2.5 Large Antenna For Arduino

Getting More GPS Information Using the TinyGPS++ Library

The TinyGPS++ library allows you to get way more information than just the location, and in a simple way. Besides the location, you can get:

• date
• time
• speed
• course
• altitude
• satellites
• hdop

The code below exemplifies how you can get all that information in a simple way.
