assume the use of components provided in the 3 Evaluation Kit , or purchased as Advanced Navigation
supplied optional 4.3 Accessories.
1. Install the GNSS Compass in an area where it has a full clear view of the sky and away from strong radio
transmission sources as shown in Figure 2: GNSS Compass ideal mounting location
