Review on 🌐 HiLetgo VK172 G-Mouse USB GPS/GLONASS Receiver: Enhanced Navigation for Windows 10/8/7/VISTA/XP by Chad Siofele

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great while it worked.

This device is almost ready to use, the GPS program connects and runs its functions without any problems. Brilliant. I used it for a weekend event on a laptop with no problems. After a weekend event, I moved this device to a rackmount Linux server. This also worked fine and provided a stratum 0 time source for our NTP requirements. However, a few months later it became intermittent and eventually mostly non-functional. Turning the power on and off, removing and replacing, etc. didn't change anything. Conclusion: The design works, but you can't use something like this for long. This is a good value for short-term use.

Pros
  • Supported operating systems: Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP/CE
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
