The antenna pin of the module is connected to Antenna 1 on the back PCB of the case by default. This can be changed by cutting a trace and adding solder blobs to connect Antenna 2. There is a second solder jumper that you can break and solder to change the antenna connection from the module to the IPEX connector allowing you use use an external antenna
There is also a GPS module which is an atgm336h. The pins are connected as follows
- on/off – pin 41
- txd – pin 42
- rxd – pin 47
There is a small antenna on the tip of the board. This should give enough connection outdoors, but this will need some testing
