 The camera mounted in our kit is based on the **OV5647 sensor**, capable of 2592x1944 pixels (**5 Mpixels**). The camera has a **wide viewing angle** of 175°. The camera requires a **manual focus adjust**, turning the lens mount clockwise or counerclockwise. The focus resulted a bit critical: trying to focus to infinity it resulted that the mere rotation of 1/16 of a turn, can **mess-out the focus** very badly. Also the quality of the pictures is **not exceptional**, they miss the crisp level that we would expect from a 5 Mpixels sensor. The camera mounted in our kit is based on the **OV5647 sensor**, capable of 2592x1944 pixels (**5 Mpixels**).

 I use **gpxlogger** (from the **gpsd-clients** Debian package) to acquire track logs from the GPS. It seems that the program has a bug handling the **%%-f%% option**, sometimes it crashes with the error //free(): invalid next size (fast)//. I opened [[https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=909082|bug #909082]] on Debian. Changing the file name to be created, is a workaround for this problem. I use **gpxlogger** (from the **gpsd-clients** Debian package) to acquire track logs from the GPS.

 +A cheap alternative to the Adafruit Ultimate GPS HAT is the **u-blox NEO-6 GPS** module. It has a serial interface and a pin to carry the PPS signal.
