Introduction

EVK-M9DR can be used to test and evaluate the u-blox M9 single-band GNSS dead reckoning
technologies. The device is equipped with the NEO-M9V module, and allows performance and feature
evaluation of the following products when used in conjunction with the provided active antenna:
• NEO-M9V
• NEO-M9L
