That GPS has only one connector and only 4 wires.  It also says that it has a compass.  Is it a OP V9 clone?  ... or is the mag inaccessible or something else?

I believe it is a clone. I have seen other sites list them as "OP" ready GPS units.

I checked today, beside banggood and aliexpress the revo is not wold via amazon as well. Looks very much like the same trader behind. The prices are between $95 to $140, where Amazon price is mid range. As I was ordering some presents on Amazon today, I added a revo clone for myself :)

The Revo clones I have seen have been around USD $50 (shipped).

Yeah, you are right. What I was talking about were the sets of revo, oplink and gps. But I did not check prices closely.

Got the Revo clone kit yesterday: Revo with upright connectors, Oplink and a GPS Neo M8N, which looks very much like the Ebay GPS discussed elsewhere here, all three in light and slim cases, cables, 2 antenna with cables, a power distribution board, and a stand for the gps. Nice set, was well packed, looks ok. I will check it in detail during the next days. A first start showed BL 6, but FW 14.06. Upgrade to LP 15.09 worked smoothly. The GPS has a Mag, but it's not recognized, so I will need the External Mag code discussed to get it to work. The GPS works pretty nice and quick, seems to know GPS, Galileo and Glonass, so I got up to 20 (!) sattelites fixed today.

Will do flight tests with LP 15.09 tomorrow :)

Remark about the cases: I could not make out how to fix them to the frame, so I drilled the necessary holes.

Wow 20 sats!  These new GPS's seem to work really well.  I've got the new cheap Neo8 and it quickly gets 16 sats indoors.

About the cases:  My Nano was the same way.  Don't tell anybody, but I just use servo tape / two faced tape with a careful initial alignment and some thought about how to get it out.  Careful because some kinds (black/gray) of tape are pretty well permanent.  Use the white stuff.

I don't like those vertical pins, so I bought these to convert an old CC3D.  USD $1.09 shipped.  Unsoldering is a pain, must remove black plastic, then unsolder one pin at a time, then clean out all the holes...

Well, the GPS is very good, but the revo is crap. It uses the ARM2 version of the cpu instead of the Z-Version. It works well in complementary mode but acts totally random in EKF mode. the Amazon kit is from good luck buy :(

Next try :)

Versions other than "Z" are prototypes and may have bugs for reference http://www.st.com/st-web-ui/static/active/en/resource/technical/document/errata_sheet/DM00037591.pdf
Workaround
- Revision A devices: none
- Revision Z and 1 devices: fixed

Not sure about revision "ARM 2" or "ARM Y" but original Revolution which I have on my desk has "ARM Z", and so does the clone I got from ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/351500451307 but it's a risk, maybe I was lucky.
