class adafruit_gps.GPS(uart, debug=False)

GPS parsing module. Can parse simple NMEA data sentences from serial GPS modules to read latitude, longitude, and more.

datetime

Return struct_time object to feed rtc.set_time_source() function

has_fix

True if a current fix for location information is available.

send_command(command, add_checksum=True)

Send a command string to the GPS. If add_checksum is True (the default) a NMEA checksum will automatically be computed and added. Note you should NOT add the leading $ and trailing * to the command as they will automatically be added!

update()

Check for updated data from the GPS module and process it accordingly. Returns True if new data was processed, and False if nothing new was received.
