USA warehouse now open. Our USA warehouse is now open! Low cost shipping and an ever growing variety make ordering from the US warehouse even better value!
New GPS Expander Module based on the latest GPS technology. Built-in LED which indicates 3D fix. Fast 10Hz update rate. Built-in battery backup for quick fixes.
Plugs into the eLogger V4 to provide live and/or recorded lat/lon, ground speed, GPS altitude, distance to pilot, course, UTC timestamp, and more. Integrated display/3D graphing software included in data system. WAAS and EGNOS compatible, built-in patch antenna.
NOTE: if you plan to use the GPS with your eLogger with 8S (approximately 30V) packs or higher, the Battery Backup Harness (CAB-BAT-BACK) is required.
The OSD will give you a distance to home and a direction to home, keep turning til the arrow is straight ahead and you will be flying towards yourself.
I understand the would credit your account , yet is there not something you might want to order in sted of the gps from HK and get your eagle tree items from another source.
just a thaught.
You can buy items with buddy code web site, you can search this item perhaps it will be cheaper and also you should help the other customer and level will get highr like gold level member. Hence the items are much cheaper like this good luck..
I found several buddy codes for this item, but none of them works. Is the buddy code system active for this item? Could you share a valid buddy code please? Thanks
Is there any difference in use of GPS module from Eagle Tree or from Flytron?
Does Eagle Tree GPS module requires 5V or 3.3V?
Flytron offers both, but default is 5V. 3.3V is with some modification.
Could you clarify how would you connect Flytron GPS to Eagle Tree eLogger?
20 people had this on backorder when i bought another, and suddenly we are NOT shown the backorder numbers. Why is that? HK has received $1260 for GPS and i know the supplier has them. How about you order them now hey, instead of simply earning interest off other people hard earned cash?!
hello guys.. ive got my gps v4 today.. im having problem.. why its to slow to get Gps Fixed??im always stucked in acquire gps fix always. even i put my plane in open area.. it takes much time to get gps fixed.. any solution?? im using 1.2g vtx.. and my gps is almost 30cm far from the vtx but still having this problem??anyone help plz?thnx
Hi Archelle Louie, it sounds like you have some interference, most likely Radio Frequency interfernece. I recommned that you buy an EagleTree Snap-on Ferrite Choke. The PRODUCT CODE is: CHOKE-FERRITE and they only cost US$6. They weigh only 0.4ounces. The choke works to suppress RF from leads or from a noisy video camera. Weight 0.4 oz. The choke is big enough to fit around several cables, and it snaps into place around them. Its cool and i think this WILL SOLVE your GPS issues. HobbyKing does not sell these chokes but you can get them from other EagleTree sellers. I hope this has been helpful to you. Good luck my friend :)
If your GPS is surrounded by Carbon Fibre, it may interfere with the signal also. If it never aquires a fix, even if it is removed from the aircraft/vehicle and tested in an open area, it may need replacement. Good luck.
Hello sir..Thanks For the advice.. Got problem solved.. i extended another 10cm.. got Gps fixed even im inside of the house.got 6 sat,, i traced the problem. its on my vtx problem. using 1.2ghz. when i turned it off. got gps quick less than 30secs. then i change the vTx freq,Violaaa. its works like charm.. thanks Much for the quick reply laserbeam.. :)
im using 1280mhz for vtx.. :) and also i extend the gps module cable. now it works fine.. but need to replace my vtx. goin to buy *readymaderc for video gears.. :) thanks
you will need the ET OSD and the Recorder - you cannot pilot home properly with GPS only as it does not give orientation (works on some self stabalisining planes tho) - need gyro and accel for that. There are other products on market which work with the ET
estamos realizando traducion de los manuales como el programa al espaol a los que lo interese esta en estas traduciones en la paguina wed de club cierzo **** en manuales seccion FPV y OSD esperamos que sea de gran ayuda.
Hi !
Sure, this product work perfectly for osd app. I have osd expander pro and it's work with the autopilot function also.

GPS gives you the gps-speed, gps-altitude, Navigation arrow (radar like) and distance to home or distance to home as LOS. Also the gps can be used in combination with the EagleEyes Groundstation for antenne tracking. In my setup the camcorder misunderstood the telemetry data for copyright protection and does not record when telemetry is on... You can also connect other sensors as temperature, barometric altimeter, airspeed pitot and rpm sensor, but the gps is a good start and provides all elemental data for a good/save flight, the home arrow can lead you home when the camera blacks out.
No you didn't missed a thing. HobbyKing has been working quite hard with Eagle Tree in order to get this and many other items back in stock. They've just got a shipment in, I suggest you jump on that asap. I just got my order filled, it's been on hold for awhile, but I knew I didn't anything to worry about with HobbyKing. I can now start my fpv system!
120$ seems a bit steep when GPS modules these days go for around 50-60$ on the web. Yes, it is a custom made PCB with some glue software around it, but it looks like a markup that is a bit too healthy for the manufacturer.
I agree it is expensive, but these are small lot custom unit. Seems they not the bulk built that are all over the net for $35.00. Interesting enough seems like they are a bit lighter then the mass built units are. I have owned a GPS unit for a while for my car. Cost is $38.00, sold with software, cables, and a GPS module......... All just plugs in to my lap top, Simply amassing part is it is offered by Microsoft. Seems like the name Microsoft and the number of dollars at $38.00 something is wrong. They never sell anything that cheap.
Never mind. I've found an equivalent on eBay, more general-purpose oriented.

Excellent addition to the micropower V3 logger. Can log speed, distance from operator, altitude as well as the vehicles course. Acquires a fix very quickly, usually within 30 seconds in my experience. Accuracy is excellent for logged parameters (speed, course, etc) though general co-ordinates are slightly off (~2-5m). May greatly reduce logging time depending on parameters selected. In a 1/8 electric buggy I have ~10mins at 4 samples per second with 2 temp sensors, brushless rpm sensor, basic eletrics (amps, watts, volts) & all GPS. I had ~30mins prior to adding the GPS expander. The eagletree software (micropower V3) also allows you to view the data in 2D or 3D graphs and makes it possible to save recorded sessions to view in Google Earth. Not really a necessity, but great for informational purposes (esp. speed!).

Will log 30plus minutes of data on an eLogger V3. You can do 3D charts using Google Earth as a background (awesome). Acquisition takes under a minute in a new location, almost instantly if you fly in the same location as the previous flight. Great for your plane, boat, rocket, heli or just fire it up on the dash of your car to track and plot your trip to the corner store when you are not flying!

Excellent device. Logs very accurately in adverse conditions, even upside down (i.e. inverted hovering on a CF/Alu heli).
Very light at slightly over 10 grams and quite small - wires are about 40cm long so you can choose an optimal spot to mount it.
Highly recommended - the only time it has trouble getting an accurate position/speed reading is when the vibration level is too high (try mounting it on a soft pad to fix that if necessary).

Great product at a great price. I've flown four test flights with it so far and it's working perfectly. I'm using it with the Eagle Tree OSD and a video downlink, so I can see all the GPS info in realtime, in addition to logging it on the V3 for reviewing later.
If you power up where you flew previously, it acquires GPS fix quickly. At a different location it can take a minute or two on a sunny day, or up to 5 minutes if its cloudy.

I can absolutely recommend this GPS. I had the GPSv3, new GPSv3 and now the GPS v4. I it is very small and light weight. Reception is very good and with 10HZ is really fast.

I agree, but good luck with that request. 
You could try complaining about it to HobbyKing. Thats always a good time-waster. 
And they did just restock most of the eagletree components quickly last week so maybe i spoke too soon. Hopefully its not too long for the GPS.
