# Flora Wearable GPS

## Hook up GPS

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/002/554/medium800/flora_hooking-up-gps.jpg?1396784406)

Use alligator clips to connect Flora's 3.3V pad to the 3.3V pad on the GPS. Likewise connect RX to TX and TX to RX, then finally GND to GND.

Unlike the GPS breakout and GPS shield we carry, the Flora GPS is for use with 3.3V power and logic only!

The four connectors are all in a row just to the left of Flora's JST battery connector for easy sewing. But test your project with alligator clips before sewing it in!
