## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work magnet side up**
A: only if you fly inverted

**Q: For the Raspberry Pi, what package needs to be downloaded?**
A: aptitude install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps

**Q: Does this antenna have nmea output? is a pinout provided so i can separate out the nmea wire? i need a gps nmea to connect to an auto pilot.**
A: It outputs NMEA data over a serial port emulator over USB. Likely will not connect directly to an autopilot.

**Q: Do you need to load a cd to configure, or can you configure online, or is it plug and go? using coastal explorer on surface book 4 with windows 10**
A: I’m afraid my application is different from what you want to do. I’m using it in my stratux GPS/ADS-B device. What I can tell you is that the software run in this device recognized it immediately. The Stratux runs on a raspberry Pi 2, I believe.

Plugged it into a linux laptop, made sure I had gpsd installed, and then checked with gpsmon. It quickly fixed to a few satellites and the location was correct.
