## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=GPS-14986:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/GPS-14986:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Normal GPS antennas are optimized for the US based GPS reception which is great but with more and more modules capable of tracking additional constellations (termed [GNSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_navigation) receivers) you’re going to need the right antenna! This exceptional GPS/GNSS antenna is designed for both GPS and GLONASS reception. When used in conjunction with the [SparkFun GPS ground plate](https://core-electronics.com.au/gps-antenna-ground-plate.html) this antenna achieved excellent TTFF and SIV statistics for both GPS and GLONASS constellations. The magnetic mount allows it to be easily mounted to a metal base such as a ground plate or car roof. The antenna is terminated with a 3m cable and standard SMA connector.

We recommend this antenna for RTK use when combined with the [ground plate](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=15004). If you need Beidou reception and additional gain consider the [GPS/GNSS embedded antenna](https://core-electronics.com.au/gps-gnss-embedded-antenna-sma-1m.html).
