Review on VANWEI VK 162 Notebook Navigation Support by Jeff Hill

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So if you are like me trying to use this device online.

This will receive 7-8 satellites in my house! I even use it in my basement for testing (the antenna is placed next to the external input. It's fixed pretty quickly. This device sends data to /dev/*any* Buffer (Linux) at a rate of once per second. So if You and I are trying to use this device at a relatively low level then this device is great.This device connects to most GPS programs via GPS USB antennas.If you prefer a higher level language like Python can This device can be easily accessed via PySerial using Python The NMEA sentences provided by the device are GPGGA, GPVTG, GPGLL, GPGSV, GPGSA and GPRMC All of these sentences are transmitted as comma separated sentences at the end of a new line The device starts streaming of data as soon as it hangs in the USB port!

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • All right
