EM-406
From bildr
The EM-406 is a GPS reciever module by USGlobalSat utilizing the SiRF StarIII chipset. This module is similar to the ET-301, but with added on-board voltage regulation, LED status indicator, battery backed RAM, and a built in patch-antenna. It communicated using a 6-pin interface cable.
The EM-406 Uses SiRF, a newer technology that is fairly accurate. Many different projects are availible for this component, and it is widely used on the Arduino GPS Shield as well as being included with the GPS Shield Retail Kit. It operates at 5V, which is useful as a standard, but can be problematic if a project required 3.3V.

- VIN (DC power input): This is the main DC supply for a 4.5V ~6.5 DC input power.
- TX: This is the main transmits channel for outputting navigation and measurement
data to user’s navigation software or user written software.
- RX: This is the main receive channel for receiving software commands to the engine
board from SiRFdemo software or from user written software.
- GND: GND provides the ground for the engine board. Connect all grounds.
- 1PPS: This pin provides one pulse-per-second output from the engine board that is
