GEPRC GEP-M1025 Series GPS Module
The GEP-M1025 series is GEPRC's upgraded GPS line, built on the u-blox M10050 chip with a large 25x25mm ceramic antenna for stronger signal reception. It supports GPS + BDS + Galileo + QZSS + SBAS joint positioning across up to 32 satellites, with a built-in Flash chip and Farad capacitor that save configuration and give a fast hot start.
The series comes in seven models: a GPS-only version, or GPS with an optional QMC5883L or IST8310 magnetometer and an optional DPS310 or MS5611 barometer. Pick the model that matches your flight controller and flight modes — suitable for most FPV quadcopters, multirotors and fixed-wing models.

Specifications
- GPS chip: u-blox M10050
- Input voltage: 3.3V – 5V
- Receiving frequency: GPS L1, GLONASS L1, BDS B1, Galileo E1, SBAS L1, QZSS L1
- Channels: 72
- Satellites: up to 32
- Output protocol: UART (u-blox); I2C for compass/baro models

Wiring & setup
- GPS: TX/RX to a free UART on the flight controller (TX to RX, RX to TX), plus 5V and GND.
- Compass / baro models: connect SDA/SCL to the FC's I2C pads. Without I2C the GPS still works for GPS Rescue / RTH, just without the compass and baro.
- Firmware: Betaflight 4.3 or newer (older versions don't support M10), INAV and ArduPilot.
- INAV compass alignment: QMC5883 = CW 0° flip, IST8310 = CW 90° flip.
- Mounting: antenna facing up, away from the VTX, power leads and motors. For micro builds choose a nano GPS (e.g. TBS M10N).
Works with (available at AeroFlow)
- FC / stacks with I2C: SpeedyBee F405 V5 Stack, Matek H743-SLIM V4, MicoAir743 V2 Stack, GEPRC TAKER H743 Stack, GEPRC TAKER F722 60A Stack
- Fixed-wing FC: SpeedyBee F405 Wing, Matek Wing V3
- Long-range frame: GEPRC MOZ7 V2
In the box
- 1 x GPS module (model as selected)
- 1 x terminal wire
- 1 x instruction manual
- 1 x GEPRC sticker
- 1 x heat shrink tubing
Note: due to DPS310 supply constraints, GEPRC may ship the DPS368 barometer on D models instead. There is no difference in performance or usage between the two.
