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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I have decided to install a pc in my computer to run the crappy hardware available on the market with Android Auto or .

If you're looking for the right GPS sensor to run a GPS app on your Windows 10 PC, look no further. I decided to install a PC in my car to replace the crappy hardware on the market with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. One of the main things I needed was GPS navigation that could be integrated into an easy to use search interface. Cortana is great for that. The catch was that my original Globalsat BU-353S4 receiver used NMEA, which Windows 10 doesn't understand (why that is, idk). You can use third-party software to make it work, but it's difficult at best. With this GPS sensor, Windows 10 understands it immediately and all applications react to it. No third-party software is required. The driver can also be found on u-blox, there is a typo in the description, so google "u-blox gnss driver" and you should find it. I now use Windows Maps with no issues and can use Cortana voice commands to navigate hands-free to new places while driving.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • A little serviceable
