VK-162 USB GPS Dongle - Remote Mount USB - External GPS Navigation Dongle - Supports Stratux, Raspberry Pi, Google Earth, Windows, Linux

Bought it for a Linux laptop to do offline gos mapping and it works great. No complaints. Well worth the money. Love the magnet base as well. Smaller than I thought, in a good way. Cord is just the right length though.

Seems to work as expected. I plan to use this for nautical charting.

I'm just a PC hobbyist with an irrational interest in network and device time synchronization. All the other GPS time gadgets I've looked up were complicated and very expensive. I plugged this in and used BktTimeSync (Windows) but soon discovered I needed to set the proper COM port. Since Widows decides that, you either need to pay attention to the initial Windows device setup notification or look in Device Manager for "Ports (COM & LPT)" and under that, "USB Serial Device (COMX)". The proper COM port will be displayed there in place of the "X". Once I set the COM port in BktTimeSync it immediately synced the PC's time with GPS. I was surprised since I was testing it in the basement which was dumb, but instructional since it worked. So, curiosity has been rewarded. It's quite redundant since NTP is so reliable (called "Internet Time" in Windows) but it's calming to know that my PC network will have accurate time during the inevitable zombie apocalypse (at least until all the satellites die).

This works flawlessly on my HP desktop computer running Windows 11. It manages to spot and sync with satellites immediately after turning on the computer. In under a minute, I was able to set up the device and get the software to synchronize my computer's time with the circling GPS satellites.However, I am disappointed that I have been unable to get it to work on my Microsoft Surface Tablet computer running Windows 11. While the device driver does install, the GPS puck is unable to get a lock on any satellites, so does not synchronize my laptop's time with the many overhead GPS satellites.

Used this on a mobile APRS digipeater. Worked perfectly.

Added this to my victron cerbo to track my rv. It is plug and play and works from inside the trailer. Adding this allows me to see wjere the rv is and provide a solar forcast for my area.

This thing is just excellent.

Excellent product and verry fast ship

Plugged it into a linux laptop, made sure I had gpsd installed, and then checked with gpsmon. It quickly fixed to a few satellites and the location was correct.

Works with openCPN. Not very intuitive to use if you're not tech savy. I had to fumble a while online and watch video to understand how to set it up. No explanation come with it.

Works as intended. No problems.

Works

Using mine with chrony on raspberry pi. No issues.
