Elaborate on NEO-M8N recommendation #189

Closed rorosaurus closed 4 years ago

rorosaurus commented 4 years ago

Why is the NEO-M8N recommended over the NEO-6M (in the README)?

I have a preference for the model that comes with the built-in OLED (NEO-6M), but I'm not clear on what trade off I'd be accepting - worse battery life / GPS lockon speed?

It might be useful to elaborate on this lightly in the README for people trying to decide what to buy!

The GPS in the 8M is a little better, but they are both pretty close. I mostly have TBEAMs with the 6m and they are quite fine.
