Matek Mini GPS GNSS M10Q: High-Precision Multi-Constellation GNSS Module
The Matek Mini GPS GNSS M10Q is powered by the u-blox SAM-M10Q-00B GNSS module, offering precise and reliable navigation solutions for drones and other applications. This module supports concurrent reception of four GNSS systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou), providing excellent sensitivity and fast acquisition times for all L1 GNSS signals. Its ability to pick up multiple satellite constellations ensures accurate positioning, even in challenging environments like urban canyons.
Key Features of the Matek Mini GPS GNSS M10Q
Multi-Constellation GNSS Support
The SAM-M10Q module supports concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou signals, ensuring a high number of visible satellites. This enables the receiver to select the strongest signals, optimizing positioning even in difficult environments. With Super-S (Super-Signal) technology from u-blox, it offers excellent RF sensitivity, improving dynamic positioning accuracy in non-line-of-sight situations.
High-Gain Patch Antenna
The built-in 15 x 15 mm high-gain patch antenna strikes the perfect balance between performance and compact size. Its omnidirectional radiation pattern provides flexibility in installation, allowing the module to perform well in various setups.

Additional Features
The SAM-M10Q comes with a GNSS PPS LED, which is green and indicates the status of the GNSS. It remains solid upon power-up and blinks (1Hz) when a 3D fix is achieved. The module also features a JST-GH-4P connector for easy integration, and an RST pad for cold start recovery.
What's Included in the Box?
- 1x SAM-M10Q GNSS Module
- 1x JST-GH-4P to JST-GH-4P 20cm silicon wire
- Wiring and setup instructions
Installation and Setup
Wiring the SAM-M10Q is straightforward:
- 5V: Connect to flight controller 4~9V input
- RX: Connect to flight controller UART_TX
- TX: Connect to flight controller UART_RX
- GND: Connect to flight controller ground
Tips and Notes
Ensure that your system is running INAV 5.0.0, Betaflight 4.3.0, or ArduPilot 4.3 or newer to ensure compatibility with the SAM-M10Q. Note that the u-blox SAM-M10Q does not include built-in dataflash, so once the GNSS is powered off, settings will revert to default.
