Works as intended in GPS, Finders & Accessories

Using Python 3.9 with my dad, writing dates. json In most cases more than 10 satellites are acquired. Not bad for the price

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Price

It works but not very useful

It works but not very useful because it doesn't interact with any of the tracking software I install on my computer. Claims to work with Bing Maps/Cortana but not for me, I've used ArcView but nothing. I've tried Google Maps, QGIS and Maptive so I gave up after 30 days of trying.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Very expensive

Good product but difficult if you have Windows 10

Receiver works great but was a bit difficult to set up. Luckily I have a friend who is very good at this sort of thing and he was able to find me a patch to set up open-CPN on my laptop. I'm sure it's easy to install on any other version of Windows, but 10 has its own issues.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Some cons

Ready to use in less than 5 minutes.

The box says it only works with Windows 8 and Windows 10. I am using Windows 10 and it installed and read signals in less than 5 minutes. I got the latest driver by following the seller's instructions HERE. Usage: 1. Install the driver (contact us to get the driver or download "u-box GNSS Sensor Device Driver for Windows Version 2.33" from u-box website). Connect BU-353W10. Open your favorite GPS app for Windows 10.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Everything ok

Never got it to work on a new Surface Pro 7 - i7

I've been trying to get this to work on my new Surface Pro 7 - i7 for over 2 days but it never worked . It was difficult to find the driver and information (u-blox gnss 2.40). After doing this, I installed, uninstalled and reinstalled them from another site multiple times. But without success. The product is not listed on the GlobalSat website and cannot find support. Update: Looks like it's a driver issue in Windows version 1903. Works great on an old version 1809 laptop. So until they update…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Legacy model

Most impressive USB GPS receiver I've tested

The description implies that it only works on Windows 10. But it worked trivially for me with my own GPS software on Ubuntu and Raspbian Linux. It appears as a ttyACM device with USB Vendor/Product ID v1546p01A8 at 9600 bps with a default refresh rate of 1 Hz. It uses the Ublox 8 UBX-M8030 chipset, which supports both the standard NMEA protocol and the proprietary UBX binary protocol supported. The Ublox 8 is the most impressive GPS receiver out of sixteen I've tested with my own software. I'm…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • security

Doesn't work in GPS trackers

When trying to use this item from my computer to navigate the boat, I did not provide the correct web address to download the component information to make it work on your computer. Email sent to company for correct web address but no reply. I've looked through all the Revain Questions and Answers for this product, tried using other web addresses to download the correct unlock download information, unfortunately could not get what I needed to get this device working. My recommendation is NOT to

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • I really don't like it, everything is fine

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…

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • There are defects

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…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • A little serviceable
