    • Pay close attn to a manual for time sync
For the price, a great product. (i have used it for a few months). Understand that if you use this device as a time sync system for your computer, it requires close attention to the software settings.

    • Works great, well until you use it
Time sync on a pi is not the easiest thing to do but works fine

    • Works with Windows 11
I went to buy one of these for my laptop which has an issue keeping time. There was a banner at the top of the product page that I actually bought one 3 1/2 years ago, and I guessI forgot. I actually found it and plugged it into my Windows 11 laptop and it was instantly recognized. I downloaded BTKTIMESYNC, installed it and worked like a champ. Pros: Works without needing to install drivers Cons: Won't work indoors. Almost no documentation ... show more

    • Great GPS for the price
For a $14 gps this thing is kind of amazing. I was able to get a lock with very little difficulty hanging it out the window of my place in a downtown area not conducive to good reception. I'm using it on a Raspberry Pi. The device is automatically recognized as /dev/ttyACM0. You can do a tail -f of that device and see the NMEA output after you plug it in. If you want to set it up as an NTP source, here are some steps to follow: # Update sources sudo apt-get update # Install the gps daemon, libraries and NTP sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps ntp # to install the gps daemon and the ntp server # edit the gpsd config file sudo vi /etc/defaults/gpsd # Add/modify the following lines to the file. They may already exist so just modify. These specify the device explicitly and NTP won't work without the -n DEVICES="/dev/ttyACM0" GPSD_OPTIONS="-n" # save/quit the above, then edit the ntp configuration file sudo vi /etc/ntp.conf # Add these lines to ntp.conf: # gps server 127.127.28.0 minpoll 4 maxpoll 4 prefer fudge 127.127.28.0 time1 0.000 refid GPS stratum 15 # save/quit then reboot Once that's all done you should be able to type: cgps -s ...and see a full screen display with the GPS attempting to lock or locking up. If you get a timeout check your work and connections If NTP is working you should be able to type: ntpq -p ...and you'll see a line in the resulting text that looks something like this: *SHM(0) .GPS. 15 l 14 16 377 0.000 3.505 3.556 If "poll" and "reach" are zero it's not working. Hope this helps! ... show more

    • Low cost and works.
Plug and play on a Windows machine and Pi using (mostly) ham radio apps. For a Ubuntu machine it took a bit of fiddling with drivers to get it operating.

    • Perfect GPS device for a current-day laptop
I was looking for a replacement for the Microsoft GPS stick that came with my copy of Streets & Trips 2008; it had worked flawlessly for years through my travels, but once I upgraded to Windows 10...nothing. No driver updates. Nothing at all. It wouldn't read the device. And upgrading my computers to the Anniversary Update turned the Microsoft GPS device into a simple way to cause Blue Screens of Death the moment I plugged it in. 😅 So yeah, I had to get a GPS device that worked with my Windows 10 laptop. This worked golden; thanks to everyone who suggested pre-downloading the drivers before this arrived. Plugged it in, took it outside, and immediately got 3-5 GPS satellites giving me my location in Windows Maps, which is a worthy successor to S&T for me. Works great with Google Earth too, along with MapPoint, despite the older maps. Can't complain about this one; a great device at an excellent price, and exactly what I needed. ETA - Still using it now in 2022 and used it on a trip with my 2019 MacBook Pro, using Parallels running Windows. Plugged this into a USB-C hub, still works like a dream with Windows Maps finding my position headed up the Northeast Regional. It's proved to be just as much of a trip essential over the years. ... show more

    • Easy Installation Under Linux
I installed Lubuntu Linux on an 11 year old Asus Eee PC netbook to use as the control computer for a portable digital amateur radio station. It needed GPS, partly for position, but mostly as a precise time reference for the weak signal modes that require synchronized transmission and reception. There are a few online explanations of how to install this GPS USB dongle, usually for the Raspberry Pi but the process is the same for any other Linux PC. Search for KM4ACK or OH8STN for good YouTube videos and blog posts with step-by-step directions. I was a bit disappointed at first because the GPS didn't receive indoors (I have other GPS enabled devices that do) but the seller advises that this dongle probably won't work indoors because the GPS signals are too weak. I took it outside and it quickly locked onto multiple satellites and generated a precise 3D position fix and updated the PC's system time clock. ... show more

This thing is awesome. I have added GPS internally to my laptops in the past, and this unit is on par with any of them. It's essentially a UBlox 7 GPS with standard ceramic antenna. Plug it in and install the 500kb driver from Ublox; it creates a virtual com port and you can start using it for your NMEA needs. GPS reception is great, and I have not tried GLONASS. It will not do glonass and gps at the same time (glonass is the russian version of gps, both of which systems have their own satellites). I have read a few articles of people hacking the module inside to pull off a UART signal from 2 of the pins, but they are very tiny pins/pads and that is definitely an advanced type hack/mod. I might try to hack it for use with my arduino or flight controller in the future. If you are <Joe Blow doesn't know anything technical and needs a gps unit>, or even if you are into GPS integration for computers, arduino, RC, etc, then I would recommend this! I would recommend it even if you ... show more
