I could find no mention of the operating temperature range of the following product: SparkFun GPS-RTK-SMA Breakout - ZED-F9P (GPS-16481) . While the ZED-F9P has an operating range of -40 to +85C (reference ublox datasheet UBX-17051259), the question pertains to the external components included on the board. Any information from Sparkfun Electronics would be welcome.

We don’t test our products for temperature and we don’t have data for the other parts on the board but they likely are in a similar temperature range as the ZED-F9P.

The only issue might be the battery on the board, it could potentially not work at very low temperatures. All the battery does is provide power to the backup memory on the ZED-F9P, if that were to be lost the module would still work but would cold start at powerup rather than hot starting and getting a GPS fix quicker.

Thank you. That is useful information.
