Review on G72 G-Mouse USB GPS Dongle with Glonass Beidou GNSS Receiver Module for Raspberry Pi Linux Window Geekstory - Enhanced Alternative to vk-172 GPS by Antonio Liu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple and ubiquitous GPS receiver with decent sensitivity

I originally set this up on a raspberry pi on a table at least 6ft high in a room with windows and it was able to pick up enough signal to to get useful information over time. After putting it directly in the sky view window it worked great and has been working ever since. I bought it for use with ham radio software and found it to be fairly reliable. Has been running for two weeks now. I chose to connect it to the Pi via a 10" USB3 cable, although it worked fine when connected directly to the Pi. Even worked with PiZeroW.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I'll add later
