Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very affordable and high quality USB GPS device.

Once corrected, this device is extremely accurate. It's better than my BU-353, better than the Vk-172, and pretty much on par with the Adafruit GPS Hat for Raspberry Pi in terms of accuracy. It usually takes a few seconds to get an initial fix, with more following shortly after Satellites for a more accurate fix.

Pros
  • Accessories for GPS systems
Cons
  • For seniors

There are no instructions on how to set up or use the product

This product does not come in its original packaging. There is no user manual/setup guide for the product. After reading the reviews we bought it to use with Raspberry Pi. Without an installation guide, we're not sure how to use it.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Something else
