Zerodrag LOC8-M10 GPS Module | u-blox M10 GNSS | ArduPilot INAV | The FPV Project

The Zerodrag LOC8-M10 is a compact multi-constellation GNSS module built around the u-blox M10 receiver — one of the most capable GPS chipsets available for FPV and UAV applications. Supporting concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, it delivers fast satellite acquisition, reliable position hold, and accurate return-to-home performance across a wide range of firmware platforms.

Why choose the Zerodrag LOC8-M10?

Most GPS modules at this price point use older u-blox M8N or M9N chipsets. The LOC8-M10 steps up to the latest-generation u-blox M10 — delivering faster cold start times, better sensitivity in challenging conditions, and a higher nav update rate (up to 25Hz on single constellation) compared to older chipsets. As a Made in India product with a genuine 12-month warranty from Zerodrag, it also offers better local support than imported equivalents. Pair it with our flight controller and AIO range for a complete GPS-enabled build.

Key features

u-blox M10 receiver — latest generation chipset

The u-blox M10 is the current-generation GNSS receiver platform from u-blox, offering improved sensitivity, faster acquisition, and lower power consumption compared to the M8N and M9N chipsets it replaces. It supports concurrent tracking of all four major GNSS constellations for maximum satellite visibility and positioning reliability.

4-constellation concurrent reception

Simultaneously receives GPS (L1 C/A), GLONASS (L1 OF), Galileo (E1B/C), and BeiDou (B1I/B1C) — more visible satellites means faster lock acquisition, better accuracy in sub-optimal conditions like tree cover or urban environments, and more reliable RTH performance.

Up to 25Hz navigation update rate

Up to 25Hz update rate in single-constellation mode (10Hz with all four constellations active) — significantly faster than the 5-10Hz typical of M8N-based modules, providing more responsive position data for dynamic FPV flight modes like GPS Rescue and position hold.

Onboard compass

Integrated magnetometer provides heading data for full autonomous navigation — required for GPS Rescue, loiter, waypoint missions, and position hold modes in ArduPilot and INAV.

ArduPilot, INAV, PX4, and Betaflight compatible

Officially supported by ArduPilot v4.3+, INAV v5.0+, PX4 v1.14, and Betaflight v4.3+ — covering the full range of FPV firmware platforms from freestyle GPS Rescue to full autonomous waypoint mission planning.

Made in India — 12-month warranty

Designed and manufactured in India by Zerodrag, with a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects and local support available via WhatsApp and email.
