+How to configure a GPS for CC3D
+===============================
+
+CC3D or Atom flight controllers do not support GPS functions such as Return
+to base or Position Hold. The original CopterControl (CC) board does not have
+memory left for GPS use.
+
+The only purpose for GPS use is telemetry using radio modems (OPLink) or GPS
+position send to OSD device.
+
+NMEA is not supported anymore because is less memory efficient, this page only
+refers to UBlox GPS and UBX protocol.
+
+
+.. note:: Others boards like :doc:`Revolution <../revo/index>` support
+   **auto-configuration** and **no need** this manual configuration using
+   UCenter.
+
+   This means also if you connect your 'CC3D GPS' to a Revolution board, your
+   previous configuration is lost!
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+* Download the UCenter software `here <https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/u-center-windows>`_,
+  check Zip icon in bottom page.

+* Install UCenter software
+* Setup a serial connection with GPS using USB port (if any) or USBSerial
+  (Gnd, +5V, Tx, Rx).
