Seems to work good. Even inside (Top Floor)
Tested on Windows 10 (Google Earth)
And gpsd on Debian (xgps)

I bought this unit to connect to my laptop so that I can get accurate position data to synchronize the laptop clock with the highly precise GPS clock. I plan on using this in remote areas with digital ham radio communications protocols (FT8/FT4/etc), which require a precise time setting. This unit is very small, attaches via a magnet (if needed), grabs a GPS signal really quickly, and uses very little power. Works perfect for my requirements.

This device comes with an (excessively long) cord, which may be great for some uses; but (especially for mine) is not amazing. Though it appears to be waterproof (uncertain); I would love a revision that includes a female type-C connector on the device to use, potentially including an adaptor that maintains the waterproofing (uncertain), or optionally not including it whatsoever.
As of yet, haven’t taken it outside (mostly was purchasing it to fix an issue with GMaps not acknowledging liking my existence on mobile), but so far it’s accurate (far moreso than my phone), and GMaps seems to like it (using org.broeuschmeul.android.gps.usb.provider for this), but my phone (Pixel 5inch) seems to not like charging while using it… will see how that ends up for it.
All in all: accurate, quick, and long. Significantly smaller than expected, as well.

I purchased this device to allow my Windows 10 laptop to keep an accurate track of time. The install was as quick as plugging the dongle into my laptop. Windows 10 automatically installed the required device driver. Once the driver had completed the install, I installed a free application called GPSTime . GPSTime only needs the COM port number of the dongle in order to configure it, then click on the start button. I changed the default baud rate to You can use Windows Device Manager to determine the COM port number. I then ran the application GPSTime to update my laptop clock every minute and verified that the clock is accurate. I was getting accuracy values of .007 seconds using the website IsTime.com . The device was up and running in under 3 minutes of opening the package.
IMPORTANT: For a Windows install, you need to make sure that the GPSTime application is set to run as Administrator (i.e. with Administrator privileges), or else the application will not be able to update the time as it won’t have sufficient privileges.

Accuracy, this device made my location precisely, small, lightweight readily secured with the magnetic base.
Product description has proven to be inaccurate, my Linux systems did not recognize the device when plugged into a usb port, no matter which port was used. They did not even recognize a device had been plugged in.

Good price and very fast response and accurate

The physical connection was as simple as plugging in the USB cable (no additional power cable required). I found the strong magnetic base to be useful for ad-hoc mounting. You’re on your own when it comes to instructions (but let’s be fair, that’s part of why the item is so inexpensive). Following two different sets of online instructions ran into problems, but when I followed the exact steps provided on the Amazon product page in Oscar A. Blanco’s review, everything worked perfectly. I can highly recommend his review if you’re looking for Raspberry Pi instructions.
