Review: Finally, one that works ! Excellent GPS receiver at a great value. - Excellent GPS receiver! I had tried to use several other brands and models prior to this one, without success. Finally, this GPS installs easily and works great. I got it for ofdline mapping and navigation and timing sync for my amateur radio software. Great price, excellent performance and easy to set up.
Review: Perfect ! - Plugged it in and as soon as I was able to open my Serial Monitor it was already spitting out NMEA sentences. Next, its port was recognized by my BktTimeSync program and sync'd the laptop clock. I installed the u-center program, selected the port and it was off and running. After a couple minutes there were 10-12 satellites recognized and HDOP was below 1.0, a good sign. Very happy and no complaints.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with Raspberry Pi Zero W.
*by F***S on January 29, 2020*

I would very much like to thank Oscar for his review. My primary goal was to build a time server on a stand-alone local area network and learn how a time server works in Linux. I learned how to sync my router, RPis, and Windows machines to a Linux time server. The VK-162 acquired a signal very fast. I used some hand-held GPS units about 15 years ago and it took about 3 minutes to acquire a signal. There is a Raspberry Pi GPS application that displays satellites, lat, lon, and time. I got the simple GPS application going first to verify everything was working. Then, I got my time server going. There is plenty of easily accessible info on the internet and in the Raspberry Pi forums on USB GPS dongles. I am pleased with my purchase and I am please with the price and fast shipping from Geekstory. I had no problem getting the Raspberry Pi GPS application to work and no problem getting the Raspberry Pi Zero W time server working.
