Description of Enhance Your GPS Experience with Vk-172 Gmouse USB GPS ๐ŸŒ Glonass Dongle Module for Linux Window Raspberry Pi โ€“ Geekstory Review

This usb gps works with Windows, Linux, Raspberry PI and Google Earth, not for IOS Android. The vk-172 gps is NOT plug and play for most device. You need to install driver before make it work. Raspberry Pi and linux no need driver. VK-172 automatically adapt the baud rate. The baud rate has any data output. This usb gps can be used for mac computer, but it requires very professional technical skills. Document link please contatc us. The product documentation link cannot be displayed.

Worked only once with GPS, finder and accessories

There is one piece of information they left out in the description. This is a disposable device. You can only use it once! Don't waste time sending it back for a refund.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok

Right out of the box and connected to my Raspberry Pi 4 running AstroBerry this little device booted up with no issues and synced my location and time. I highly recommend it

  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Nothing

Doesn't work with Raspberry Pi

I've tried and tried to get this to work on my Raspberry Pi 4B but to no avail. I returned it and bought another small GPS navigator that worked perfectly with no issues.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Null

It doesn't work

Clean garbage. It's not even worth going back. Doesn't even get power, let alone recognition. Why is this shit being sold? It looks like it's approaching a 10% 1 star rating.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Prize in piggy bank

Good GPS for Raspberry PI 3B+

Hello, a customer drew my attention to another offer for this device. If multiple items are found, you need to add a RULE to 60-gpsd.rules to detect the device. After restarting PI, the GPSD service recognized the device. This works with Raspberry PI 3B+.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good

I would not recommend unless you are a psychic

Supplied without driver, no information. Of course you need to connect it to the Raspberry PI 3b and magically learn to communicate with it. If it's half as hard as dealing with the company that sells it, I don't recommend anyone messing with this thing.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Old technology, not the best but this one works

I have a few of these that I bought a few years ago, I've seen terrible reviews and I have to say they really aren't as good as the newest ones Ublox M8 generation receivers, definitely buy them if you care about maximum performance, but these little guys are cheap and they work.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Not trendy
