USB port does not work

I should have read the previous review before buying. The micro-USB port supplies power to the device (LED is on), but it does not communicate. The PC shows the serial port in the device manager, but it doesn't. Not useful for my application and rather misleading IMHO.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Other Other

Not working: GPS, Finder & Accessories

As previously mentioned, the USB port cannot be used to communicate with a computer. My device could not fix the position even after 6 hours of operation because it was next to 3 other GPS units, each fixing the position for 10 seconds to 3 minutes). All used the same antennas, I didn't have an active antenna so I never connected the included remote antenna thread adapter to this board.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Functions but very limited

The device works, but there are many problems. The micro USB port does not work at all. I could not connect the device via the port like comparable ublox boards can. I had the FTDI module and was able to connect the device to the U-Center BUT there is no Sram/EEPROM on this board so you cannot save a configuration. The default value is 57600 baud, 1 cycle per second. If it works for you it should work, but I need to be able to change the configuration.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Sad packaging
