SparkFun has written a library to work with the u-blox NEO-F10N. You can obtain this library through the Arduino Library Manager by searching for "SparkFun u-blox GNSS v3". Find the one written by SparkFun Electronics and install the latest version. Users who prefer to manually install the library can get it from the GitHub Repository or download the .ZIP by clicking the button below:
Once you have the library installed checkout the various examples! There are several examples in the library that cover more than just the NEO-F10N. Note that some examples will not apply depending on the modules features. We will be looking at the NEO-F10N folder.
!!! note According to the u-blox Integration Manual for the NEO-F10N, the current firmware does not support such as geofencing and low power mode so those examples contained in the library do not apply. Remember, the NEO-F10N only supports serial UART so the examples involving I2C and SPI do not apply either.
