Not Worth Your Money

This GPS accessory for electronics was a total disappointment. Using this product, our team found that it was unreliable, with frequent signal loss and failed connection. The only redeeming feature was its compact size but that hardly matters when it doesnt work properly .Save your money and invest in a better quality accessory. Negative feedback isn't something I would usually give, but I feel strongly about this product's shortcomings..

Pros
  • Easy to use and compatible with a wide range of projects.
Cons
  • Requires additional components to function properly, which can add to the overall cost.

Handy GPS breadboardable accessory

This little gadget is a great add-on for Electronics enthusiasts who love working with GPS modules .The compact size is perfect for fitting onto any breadboard, making it very convenient. The breakout board is very durable with clear labels that make it easy to use. Unfortunately, the product lacks instructions, which can make it a bit tricky for first-time users. Overall it's a great investment for those who want to start incorporating GPS into their projects..

Pros
  • This product provides accurate timekeeping functionality.
Cons
  • May require some technical knowledge to integrate into a project.

Plug and play in Windows 10 with USB-C cable

Well I'm happy to report that you can just plug it into your computer with the USB port and it also gets USB power and data. Windows 10 recognized it immediately and configured it as a new COM port without a special driver. It works great out of the…

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad
