Ai-Thinker GP-02-Kit GPS/BDS/GNSS Development Board

Ai-Thinker GP-02-Kit is a compact GNSS development board designed around the GP-02 multi-mode satellite navigation platform. According to the official Ai-Thinker specification, the GP-02-Kit supports BDS, GPS, and GLONASS for joint positioning, and is intended for projects that need reliable positioning, navigation, and tracking in embedded systems.

The Ai-Thinker GP-02-Kit is suitable for developers building IoT tracking, smart transportation, geolocation devices, drones, and other products that need practical GNSS evaluation hardware. Compared with integrating a bare GNSS module first, the development board format makes serial testing, signal evaluation, and positioning verification easier during early development.
