I am working on a high altitude balloon project but want to know if the Venus gps module will report position even above 18km?

Sorry to use the issue tracker but had no other way to reach you :)

Holy crud! Yea I didn't see this for ever.

Yea, the venus GPS board works at least up to the 100k feet I've tested it with. I'd also recommend if you're going to use something other than an UNO that you have an uno nearby to test if weird stuff goes wrong. It seems like for me most of the errors come from the compatibility with the Mega and the Due since they handle extra serial ports differently.

I suppose I should actually add issue reports to my email if I want other people using this.
