Hi,
In the datasheet I search if I can to have a sample rate > 1Hz but I don't to find this information. I want a GPS sample rate 10 Hz. How I must to do ?
Thanks

Most GPS modules do not serve more then 1Hz, the fastest one I know of is the Etek EB-85a and thats a cool 5Hz.

hi,
thanks for your response.
I looked on GM862's datasheet the function AT$GPSACP. If I send this function at 10 Hz, I will have my position with time acquire 100ms, isn't it ?

It won't be updated at 10 Hz, though, you'll just get the same position each time.

You could use projection, with an accelerometer fitted. You would also need an MCU etc.

What is the application, why do you need the data so often?

Buy ten modules and poll them one after the other :lol:
