This is an enlargement of the ground-plane of the GPS-Receiver to increase the signal strenght. 
Also it shields the antenna against electro magnetic fields of the other electronics.

= Improvement of the GPS signal strenth =

The improvements has the following advantages:
 * better Position-Hold of the MikroKopter
 * much better GPS performance during [[en/SunStorm|sun storms]]
 * faster Fix after switch-on

== GPS signal with Gps-Shield ==

{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=73360&g2_serialNumber=1}}

Under clear sky the signal strenght goes up to 50dB

= Assembling =

The four panels are broken out of the four-plate and with a small file (eg, nail file) deburred.

After that the plates are soldered to a ring.

At the end the ring is fixed and connected to the ground-ring of the MKGPS.

== Version 1.1 ==
Version 1.1 is slightly changed. The edges are different to fit better under the hub.

= GPS-Cover 64 =
For small QuadroKopters (like L4-Set), the GPS-Cover64 can also be used.

It has an additional lower ring to cover the electronics
