3DR uBlox GPS with Compass Kit from the 3dr parts store

[Guy Canavaggio]

Is this GPS the same or better than the one on the stock solo ?

Thanks for the answer just thinking of a Mod..

The older ones were Neo6 and the new ones are a Neo7, which is the same thing the Solo has now.
The Neo-8 is what you want if you are going to do a mod, and it's been covered quite extensively elsewhere.
I love the form factor or the 3DR GPS+Compass and wish they'd do a Neo-8 with it.

I haven't personally had any probems, but I bet an enterprising person would do very well with a plug and play Neo-8 board
