The u-blox NEO-M9N and ZED-F9P are advanced GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver modules designed to provide reliable positioning and navigation data. They support multiple satellite constellations such as GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou, allowing them to maintain accurate positioning even in challenging environments like urban areas or partial signal obstruction.

Our breakout board provides ease of use with quick access to all supported protocols (UART, SPI and I2C) while also coming with a plug-and-play [Qwiic ecosystem](https://soldered.com/collections/qwiic-ecosystem) connector. This ESP-IDF component talks to the module over any of the three interfaces (`ublox_gnss_init_i2c()`, `ublox_gnss_init_spi()`, `ublox_gnss_init_uart()`) behind a plain-C API, so it can be used from both C and C++ ESP-IDF projects.
