Onyehn VK-162 G-Mouse USB GPS Dongle Navigation Module/GPS USB Engine Board External GPS Antenna Remote Mount USB GPS Receiver for Raspberry Pi Support Google Earth Window Linux

Plugged in to the USB port on a Dell laptop running Windows 11. The COM port was successfully opened. Within one minute, a GPS fit was found and 8 satellites were found. The device worked on the first try. This is done from within my kitchen close to a window, with dense tree cover outside. The magnetic base is good for in vehicle use, but I wish it were a little stronger. It can stick to the top of the roof of the vehicle. I intend to use this to do the HPMS road survey for my work unit. I believe this is a very cost effective way to do it. It automates the process and reduces errors. I highly recommend this product.

I received the product in a clear plastic bag (well pack and protected). The USB Onyehn VK-162 G-Mouse works wonders. It was easy to plug and play, I did some online search and found the right configuration that it almost made it work right if the box. I use it indoors and it picks a lot of satellites (fills more than 15) and you can actually see it changing coordinates as it adjusts to pinpoint the nearest location. It's accurate (Long,Lat) as close as a few houses... to a few blocks near me location. The long-lat coordinates changes as it try to get closer and closer to my location. Some times it pinpoints the houses on the other side of my physical location but... for me that's not a problem as I don't need it for GPS accuracy but for other purposes so it could be a city off but as long as it gives the right time zone it works for me. For GPS accuracy I'd use my phone LOL. but it's decent and it works. I don't think it supports PPS. But it does provide time and coordinates (long - lat).

Value for money

Has been easy to use and setup with NMEATime2 for time synchronization. I use it for a WIN10 laptop and FT8. I would buy another one if I ever needed to.

I use a program called WinLink to send messages over ham radio. It can connect to a serial com port to collect GPS data. It connected instantly to this device and worked perfectly within seconds.

I was unable to find drivers to load this to an old Windows 7 machine. Unfortunately that Win7 notebook was my field notebook for Ham Radio activations with FT8. There are various links suggested that are no-longer active. So it was a dead end. It installed and worked fine on a windows 10 laptop. I'd NOT suggest this for anything earlier that Windows 10.

This GPS puck works perfectly with my Raspberry pi zero based tracker. Syncs up with satellites quickly, even indoors!

I’m using this USB GPS with a Windows computer to capture time, altitude, and location data for my telescope setup. I use NINA to read the GPS signal from the dongle. To get it to connect to a COM port, I need to disconnect all other serial devices first. Once the GPS establishes a COM port connection, I can reconnect the other devices. After NINA retrieves the location data, it usually only takes the GPS a minute or two to find enough satellites for a reliable reading.
