GEPRC GEP-M10 Series GPS Modules
The GEPRC GEP-M10 Series GPS Modules are your flight controller’s sense of direction — whether you’re cruising an FPV quad or mapping the local park from above. Featuring multi-band GNSS support, rapid satellite lock, and rock-solid positioning, the M10 lineup keeps your craft honest when you lose orientation (or your thumbs). Choose from M10 Nano, M10Q, M10 DQ, M10 I, or M10 DI variants to fit everything from ultralight whoops to long-range beasts. Because “failsafe” shouldn’t mean “find my drone”.
Note: Due to the current out-of-stock status of the DPS310 barometer, it will be replaced with the DPS368 barometer. There are no major differences in performance or usage between the two barometers, and the old and new versions will be shipped randomly based on supply.
| Model Name | Meaning | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| M10 | Standard version | u-blox M10 chip, ceramic antenna, No Compass |
| M10 Nano | Ultra-compact | Smaller footprint for micro drones, lighter weight, No Compass |
| M10Q | Compass-equipped (QMC5883L) | Includes QMC5883L magnetometer for heading data |
| M10DQ | Compass + Barometer | QMC5883L magnetometer + DPS310 barometer for altitude sensing |
| M10I | Compass-equipped (IST8310) | Uses IST8310 magnetometer (higher precision, lower noise) |
| M10DI | Compass + Barometer (IST8310) | IST8310 |
Why You Want It
Each module in the GEP-M10 family packs UBlox M10 series precision into a tidy housing, giving you faster locks, lower power draw, and fewer “GPS rescue failed” moments. Whether you want minimal weight (Nano), built-in compass (Q/I versions), or dual compasses and data output (DI/DQ), there’s an M10 that matches your build. And yes, it talks nicely with Betaflight, iNav, Ardupilot, and whatever open-source rabbit hole you’re in this week.

Comparison between QMC5883L and IST8310
| Feature | QMC5883L | IST8310 |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | Chinese replacement for Honeywell HMC5883L | Isentek’s professional-grade magnetometer |
| ADC Resolution | 12-bit | 14-bit |
| Dynamic Range | ±1200 µT (approx.) | ±1600 µT |
| Noise & Hysteresis | Higher noise, more drift | Lower noise, better linearity |
| Compatibility | Pin-to-pin with HMC5883L but register map differs; firmware issues common | Pin-to-pin with HMC5883L, widely supported in autopilot stacks |
| Reliability | Inconsistent performance, sometimes fails to initialize properly | Stable readings, widely adopted in UAVs |
| Cost | Lower | Slightly higher |
What’s in the Box*
- 1× GEP-M10 GPS Module (variant selected)
- 1× 4-pin cable
- 1× foam mount pad (because vibration is evil)
Disclaimer
Accessory layouts may vary slightly, but every box includes one honest-to-GPS module ready to find satellites faster than your phone indoors.
