Hi Nordic team,

Please advise development status, when the GPS firmware will be ready?

Thanks,

Hi Suttichai,

The modem firmware version out now supports GPS.

If you have an nRF91DK V0.8.5 or newer you can test it with the onboard antenna.

If you have an older version of the DK you can use an external GPS antenna (Recommended for best performance when testing)

Best Regards,
Martin L.

Hey,

you say if the board version is v0.8.5 or newer. But in the errate the fixes are until board v0.8.2. 

I have the board version 0.8.3. Is there the onboard antenna ready to use for the gps sample application?

Thanks

You need the 0.8.5 or later board versions to use the onboard GPS antenna.
