GPS USB Receiver Antenna Gmouse For Laptop PC Car Marine Navigation

Simple plug’n’play with Cerbo GX mk2. Amazed it managed to get a gps signal inside a panel van conversion. Certainly out performs what I was expecting, so good value for money so far

Many laptops do not have built-in GPS - even quite expensive devices. I purchased this external GPS to use with my new Surface Laptop Studio. It works well and gets a rapid lock, even indoors. Windows Location Services does not directly recognise these cheap generic GPS receivers, but a copy of GPSComplete quickly solves that.

Worked out of the box on the mini PC I use for astrophotography. U-Center 2 found many satellites and got a 3D fix quickly, and NINA likewise. I’d previously gone through some pain getting a basic uncabled dongle to work, and knew to NOT install any fancy drivers and reply on a basic serial device connection for NMEA interfacing. So when I plugged in this new one it worked immediately, and the larger antenna and integrated long usb cable allowed me to position it on top of my telescope for a very quick fix. Very handy for trips to other sites and saves me copying data from my phone. I’m lazy that way.

Requires online or CD ROM driver.

I wanted a USB GPS to feed my PC running Navionics charting when away from the boat. Plugged the unit in , serial connection noted on COM 5 but no driver. There is a recommended driver from Dell but when cross referenced to my Dell W10 laptop it said it was not compatible. Looked on web and clearly connection is a nightmare. One dedicated user said that he finally achieved GPS input after much research and10 hours of work! Life is too short. Vendor has no proper site or install guidance. U2 Center - chip supplier's site - loads monitor but then will not recognise the VFAN unit. This is a million miles from plug and play.Unit returned for refund. Avoid.

Plugged into a Cerbo GX on my narrow boat and after a few seconds full GPS nav logged into the setup. I can now geofence my boat and turn off engine or internal electrics should it be needed. It also gives a full tracking option in Victron software which you can download for viewing on maps. Could do with a longer usb lead as 2m is a bit on the short side (had to buy an extender lead). Great plug and play usb device

Doesn't work on Linux or Mac.

I bought this to go with my Victron GX Colour Controler on my narrowboat. Works right out of the box. Just place it on the roof and plug it into a free USB port on the GXCC, wait a couple of minutes for it to recognise it and to locate the satalites and you are good to go. This enables the GXCC to map your travels in Google Earth and to set a Geo Fence around your boat which will alert you if the boat moves for when you are away.

Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo

The receiver works fine and interfaces with my air navigation software after loading the driver. The accuracy and time-to-first-fix are good.

Perfect for my raspberry pi
