Great GPS
Works great and as it should. I use it for an APRS setup in a mobile environment and it just works!! You can’t go wrong here. Never has trouble picking up a signal. But if you go indoors with a metal roof or siding, etc., it might have an issue here and there and not be quite as efficient so make sure it’s near a window. But outside or in a moving vehicle, it works just great.

Missing components
I opened mine up to discover it had no battery or receiver. Which means the product will not work correctly.

Nice simple GPS receiver dongle.
Rather slow to capture satellites from a cold start, although it gives eight (8!!) characters of Maidenhead location. Seems accurate (duh!) and sufficiently sensitive to use inside the house, near a window. It's a GPS receiver, what more can be said? It's small, although it can block USB ports on a RaspPi. Just use a cable to get it near a window and away from the Pi USB connector panel. The Pi recognized it quickly and easily.

Inexpensive GPS Tracking Tool Works Well
Works well as long as you can get a clear overhead. I use it outdoors with a laptop computer to keep UTC time in digital ham radio applications. If you’re indoors, you probably need a USB extension cable to get it near a window. A green flashing LED says you’ve got satellite signals. You’ll need one of the many software applications/apps to translate signals into time/location on your computer.

Works as advised
Works as advertised. 3 star rating because it has trouble connecting indoors.
