Product Description

The VK-162 GPS is compatible with Windows and Linux, but not with Android or iOS. For most devices, it is not plug and play; you must first install the driver before it will work.
If you have a problem with our product or require product documentation, please click "Geekstory" (you'll find "Sold by Geekstory" under the Buy Now button) and then "Ask a question" to send us an email.
The cable measures 190cm in length. For travelers, the USB GPS is a fantastic, simple, and excellent option. It can be used in any country. After you download the maps for your country of travel, it will pinpoint your exact location without requiring you to pay for a service.
If you get a GPS signal, please use the GPS module outside; if you want to use the GPS module indoors, please install a GPS signal amplifier in your room.
This usb gps can be used with a Mac, but it necessitates advanced technical knowledge.

Questions & Answers

When I used my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, I gave it 5 stars
5/5

This GPS unit works great with my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, which has a 7" touchscreen and a 120GB SSD drive. There was no sadness, no unexpected events, and no struggles. Connect the unit to a free USB port on your Pi, then install the basic GPS tools for the Pi with "sudo apt-get install gpsd. " (EDIT: For a more detailed explanation, see Oscar Blanco's review. ) Even indoors in my apartment, the unit locks on to satellites quickly. I'm putting this Pi together to make it as versatile as possible, and one of the things I wanted to do was run the Navit car navigation software with OpenStreetMap maps. As you can see in the photo, this tiny GPS unit performs admirably. There isn't anything negative, unsure, or concerning about this unit. This is a fantastic addition to my Raspberry Pi setup.

It does exactly what it says
5/5

This device was purchased to allow my Windows 10 laptop to keep accurate time, and the installation was as simple as plugging the dongle into my laptop. The required device driver for Windows 10 was installed automatically. I installed a free application called GPSTime after the driver finished the installation. To configure the dongle, all GPSTime requires is the COM port number, followed by a click on the start button. I changed the default baud rate to You can find the COM port number in Windows Device Manager. I then used the GPSTime application to update the clock on my laptop every minute and double-checked that it was accurate. I was getting accuracy numbers in the range of. IsTime. com took 007 seconds to calculate. After opening the package, the device was up and running in less than 3 minutes. IMPORTANT: br>br> If you're installing GPSTime on Windows, make sure it's set to run as Administrator (i. e. Otherwise, the app won't be able to update the time because it won't have enough privileges.

For the Raspberry Pi, this is a fantastic option
5/5

The physical connection was as simple as plugging in the USB cable (there was no need for a separate power cable). The strong magnetic base came in handy for ad-hoc projects. impromptu mounting When it comes to instructions, you're on your own (which, to be fair, is part of the reason why the item is so cheap). I ran into issues following two different sets of online instructions, but when I followed the exact steps outlined on the Oscar A. According to Blanco's assessment, everything went smoothly. If you're looking for Raspberry Pi instructions, I strongly suggest reading his review.

It performs admirably, quickly acquires signals, and consumes very little power
5/5

This unit was purchased to connect to my laptop in order to obtain accurate position data in order to synchronize the laptop clock with the highly precise GPS clock. I intend to use this in remote locations with digital ham radio communications protocols (FT8/FT4/etc. ) that require precise timing. This device is small, attaches with a magnet (if necessary), quickly picks up a GPS signal, and consumes very little power. It meets all of my requirements.

Purchase number two
4/5

fulfills requirements The first was an ADSB receiver for the stratux. Everything went smoothly - plug- Install the game. This second one is for projects that you want to do as a hobby. It's a little more difficult to use because there's no documentation included. However, there is a wealth of information available on the internet. Once I figure out the necessary drivers/software, I'm confident it'll work perfectly for my other needs.

It runs smoothly on Windows 10 and Linux (RPI)
5/5

I've been using one that I bought about a year ago on my ADS-II. B is the receiver. To be used with Windows 10 Don't forget to get the u-tube player. u-mobile's center app The driver for Windows is available on the blox site. If your mapping or location software supports the simple COM port, you may not need the driver.

Raspberry Pi Zero W is compatible with this project
5/5

I'd like to express my gratitude to Oscar for his thoughtful review. br>br>My main goal was to learn how to set up a time server on a standalone local area network and to build one in Linux. I discovered how to use a Linux time server to synchronize my router, Raspberry Pi, and Windows machines. br>br>The VK-VK-VK-VK-VK-VK-VK-VK-V I used to use some hand-held GPS units about 15 years ago, and it took me about 3 minutes to get a signal. br>br>There is a Raspberry Pi GPS application that displays satellites, latitude, longitude, and time; I started with that to make sure everything was working.
