Good value for money, works but incomplete documentation hurts

I like the small size, good performance and good antennas included. I spent extra time getting the GPS to work while the cellular data was active, and after the GPS turned on, the cellular data stopped working. What the documentation doesn't say: You can't use the typical gps on command and the nmea search command. Instead, use the command AT+SGNSCMD=1.0 and wait for a GPS frame. See the simcom help manual for more information. You can get them from waveshare (dot com).

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Something is wrong
