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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Didn't work for me for GPS, viewfinder and accessories

First of all, the delivery was very fast, but the low stars are not because of that. The problem is that I've been playing around with it all day and can't get it to work. I was under the impression that the drivers would be on a floppy disk, but no, there wasn't. Therefore, I realized that there is nothing wrong with going to the manufacturer's website. I incorrectly downloaded what appeared to be the manufacturer's latest driver. Eventually I contacted support and got a link to the correct driver. Now I get a signal but no software I try to use will work. I started using MS Maps Windows OS 10 Version 1804 and all I get is no GPS signal. Tried 50 free programs from the web, finally installed an old copy of Streets and Maps from 2013 but no, it detects the signal but can't read it. These things are too cheap to bother with returns, I think they'll end up in my shit collection in the closet, maybe one day I'll find a use for them. If you decide to buy this, Google is very limited in any kind of support or help for this thing.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • There are defects
