Holybro M10 GPS
Overview
Holybro M10 GPS leverages multi‑constellation GNSS technology powered by the u‑blox M10 series. As such, this concurrent GNSS receiver is purpose‑built to receive and track multiple global GNSS systems at one time. Furthermore, it adopts a multi‑band RF front‑end architecture. In particular, this design allows the module to receive all four major GNSS constellations concurrently: GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou.
Apart from robust satellite reception, this module is equipped with an IST8310 compass, a tricolored LED indicator, a buzzer, and a safety switch. Notably, three different connector options are available for this purpose to suit diverse application purposes. By default, this module ships with a baud rate of 115200 and a refresh rate of 5Hz out of the factory.
To elaborate on its hardware design, it adopts a high‑gain 25 × 25 mm patch antenna to deliver outstanding positioning performance. In parallel, its omnidirectional antenna radiation pattern greatly improves flexibility during device installation. As a result, it includes active circuitry for the ceramic patch antenna as well as a rechargeable backup battery to support reliable warm‑start functionality.

High-Speed Drone GPS Comparison
Moving on to real‑world performance testing, one blog post conducted an ultimate comparison test among Holybro M10, M9N, F9P and Matek M10Q. Specifically, its main goal was to figure out which GPS modules can keep pace with high‑speed drones under acro mode, while simultaneously guaranteeing positioning precision during RTL and autonomous flight missions.

Note
- PX4 1.14, ArduPilot 4.3, INAV 5.0.0, Betaflight 4.3.0 or newer is required.
- The Status LED driver has changed. This LED is supported in PX4 1.14, ArduPilot 4.4.0 & later. (More info)
PIN MAP
Note: For Ardupilot user, if you are unable to perform normal compass calibration “compass dance” for any reason, set parameter COMPASS_ORIENT=6 (Yaw270) for proper compass orientation.
Difference between the three cable options
SKU12040 – Holybro M10 GPS (JST GHR1.25mm 10pin cable):
- This is our most popular option. This connector fits the 10‑pin “GPS Module” or “GPS1” input port on Pixhawk Standard Flight Controllers.
SKU12042 – Holybro M10 Secondary GPS (JST GHR1.25mm 6pin cable):
- Use this connector as a secondary GPS with the 6‑pin “UART & I2C” or “GPS2” input port of Pixhawk Standard Flight Controllers. This GPS also works with the GPS2 Port on Cube Flight Controllers.
SKU12041 – Holybro M10 GPS for Pix32 & Pixhawk1/2.4.6/2.4.8 (Molex1.25mm 6pin & 4pin &3pin cable):
- These connectors are for “Switch”, “GPS”, and “I2C” input ports on the Pix32/Pixhawk1/Pixhawk 2.4.6/2.4.8
