Review on Enhanced GPS GNSS Location Sensor for Windows 10 - GlobalSat 05-BU353-W10 (Black) by Michael Thaxton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Most impressive USB GPS receiver I've tested

The description implies that it only works on Windows 10. But it worked trivially for me with my own GPS software on Ubuntu and Raspbian Linux. It appears as a ttyACM device with USB Vendor/Product ID v1546p01A8 at 9600 bps with a default refresh rate of 1 Hz. It uses the Ublox 8 UBX-M8030 chipset, which supports both the standard NMEA protocol and the proprietary UBX binary protocol supported. The Ublox 8 is the most impressive GPS receiver out of sixteen I've tested with my own software. I'm surprised it's as cheap as it is.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • security
