VK-172 Gmouse USB GPS Glonass Dongle Module Support an-dorid Linux Windows 10/8/7/vista/XP/Raspberry Pi

Works great for GPS via Win10 laptop.

Susceptible to interference from nearby usb3 devices, keep that in mind if you're plugged this GPS receiver into a Raspberry Pi 4. Aside from that it's fine for adding an offline location and time source to a computer

Takes a bit to locate. acceptable considering the price and it is quite accurate.

I bought this USB GPS module to give my Windows 7 desktop PC a physical location. I have not been able to download a driver to make it work. The link provided in the user manual is for Windows 10, not Windows 7, and then when I clicked on the link it took me to a Google Drive login page. I do not have an account with Google Drive, and I'm not sure why I have to create a new online account just to access the drive for this GPS device.It doesn't seem right that I have to create a new online account just to access the driver for this device. The company which I bought this device from on amazon is Geekstory. The only thing that would make sense would be if Geekstory directly provided the drivers needed for the GPS modules they are selling, without requiring their customers to open up new online accounts just to access drivers for the devices. In fact, I think they should enclose a one-page document with the device containing printed direct links to the sites where the drivers can be downloaded.Until I can download the driver for my USB GPS device, it will be completely useless.

Hello,A customer pointed me to another offering of this device. Finding several items, a RULE need to be added in 60-gpsd.rules to recognize the device. After a restart of PI, the GPSD service recognized the device. This does work with Raspberry PI 3B+.

So this flash drive only comes with a label referring to a manual with a tinyurl address. This sends one to a google drive. Then there is a warning that google will track you. Plus can't access google drive without "requesting permission".Device may work, but I'm not going to let google track me just to get its software.Returning.

DO NOT place this unit close to a Raspberry Pi as there is substantial interference with WiFi and BlueTooth signals which makes sense since one radio is interfering with the other radio. Also I find the dongle works best if it is orientated horizontal and with a 4 inch square of metal under it as an antenna reflector ….. aluminum foil seemed to work OK but a 4” plate of aluminum worked better.

Pure junk. Not worth even returning. Doesn’t even receive power let alone be recognized. Why is crap like this being sold? Looks like this is headed to a 10% 1 star rating.

This is a good basic GPS unit. Works well. I wish the size was smaller so it wasn't getting bent or broken by accident when carrying laptop around.

fire HDに取り付けGPS信号を無事受信できました。　カーナビとして使用しましたがずれることもなく正確に位置があっていました。この値段だと良品だと思います。ただ、ドライバーとソフトを入手するとに手間がかかりましたがYouTubeを見ながらなんとか無事に成功しました。

As others have indicated this unit generally works well but struggles to acquire a fix indoors; however, it works as intended outdoors.This USB GPS dongle is being used to provide current date/time info for a RPi3B+ in a vehicle in a configuration that does not allow me to plug a real time clock into the GPIO pins.Setting up a RPi to acquire position and date/time info requires a quick search online for instructions and a few commands through the CLI.This dongle works well and as intended.

GPSが入っていないタブレット端末で使ってます。ポン付けでは使えませんでしたがYouTubeを参考に使えるようになりました。GPSアプリダウンロードし開発者向けオプションの仮の現在地情報アプリをダウンロードして入れたアプリ選択したらGoogleナビが問題なく動きました。USBの分岐を使って端末に充電しながらGPSを繋ぐとGPSが認識されなかったので給電しながら使えなかったところが残念でした。GPSだけ繋いで使う分には問題無く使用出来ました。
