Only 6-foot usb cable but still functions well with quality 7 or 15-foot extension cables.
Strong signal gathering capabilities without the need for power USB extenders. Had planned on mounting on roof of tall camper, but signal strength allows perfect location finding from 5 to 8 satellites when mounted inside the camper 2-feet below the ceiling that has aluminum trusses and several layers of aluminum foil insulation.

Very good GPS receiver
This works very well in my application. I’m using it with my Windows 10 computer to provide location data for various programs. No trouble at all interfacing to the computer. Used the included 2” CD disk to install included drivers and a small utility to monitor GPS receiver output. Very pleased. It sits just inside a basement window which is under a deck and locks with 6 to 7 satellites routinely from here in Maryland. Seems very sensitive in that regard. Looking forward to using it with a laptop mobile in my car or portable in the field.

Doesn’t work with Linux
False advertising! Does not work with Linux. Spent a whole day trying to get this to work. Spend your money on a better product, this one sucks!

Works on Linux
Works good and connects quickly from a cold start. GPS only. No GNSS. My only beef is that it seems to default to Sirf protocol and must be flipped in software to output NMEA. I used the Windows software on their webpage to "Factory Reset" the device. This causes it to switch from Sirf to NMEA.Port speed is 4800 so you'll have to run an stty command in linux to set your port speed otherwise you'll see gibberish.It

Perfect for POTA and FT8
If you participate in Parks On The Air (POTA) and use a digital mode like FT8 or FT4, then this is a must need item. It will sync your system clock and provide your current grid square reference. You just need to download the software and purchase a license key.

Easy to use
This product was plug and play. I had it working in minutes. The magnet mount made it stay on my dash stuck to a speaker grill.

Fantastic GPS dongle
I operate in the field a lot and work various ECOMM operations. This connects directly to my Dell laptop and sends GPS coordinates to Winlink. It is an awesome piece of tech
