Review on Geekstory VK-162 G-Mouse USB GPS Dongle: Reliable Remote Mount Navigation Module with External GPS Antenna for Raspberry Pi, Google Earth, Windows, and Linux by Michael Lara

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good choice for Raspberry Pi

Physical connection was as easy as plugging in a USB cable (no additional power cable needed). I've found that a strong magnetic base is useful for a specific attachment. You're on your own as far as the instructions go (but let's face it, that's one of the reasons this item is so cheap). I had trouble following two different online directions, but when I followed the exact steps outlined in Oscar A. Blanco's review on the Revain product page, everything worked great. I highly recommend his review if you are looking for instructions for the Raspberry Pi.

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Minor issues
