In my, albeit not super accurate or lab controlled testing, this module has performed very well. And for $15 you can't really complain. The first GPS lock didn't take long at all, which surprised me because most of the reviews mentioned that it would, my 1st lock took about 5 minutes. The module seems to operate even without a computer as long as it's connected to a power source. So when you see a blinking green light, you know you've got some sort of GPS lock. The quality of that lock can very greatly, but you should at least have 2 satellites locked. I decided to try it on my Windows 8.1 PC, so I downloaded the software and driver from the U-Blox website, after then installing the driver and starting the software I plugged the GPS receiver in with a USB extension cable and set it next to a window. After around 5 minutes, I saw a flashing light on the GPS receiver and a I saw a few satellites were locked on in the software. After about 10 minutes I had 7 satellites locked, and 10 that were being heard. There was some minor drift in speed, altitude, and latitude/longitude but that's to be expected, even in modern cell phone GPS receivers. For a cheap little USB dongle, that I'd say that's pretty good! I should also mention that was indoors, so no doubt I'll have better luck outside. After that, I plugged it into the device I intended to use it with, a Raspberry Pi 4 being used as an amateur radio field computer. As soon as I plugged it in and configured it properly, I got a lock and an accurate grid locator, and more importantly I got accurate time down to the second, which is what I wanted since the Pi doesn't keep time by itself unless you use an RTC. Overall this USB GPS receiver works exactly as intended, and actually looks pretty nice all things considered. And for $15 it really can't be beaten. works very well, and I'll probably end up buying a few more in the future. 10/10 Review: Simple, effective NMEA GPS that locks on even inside - I needed a USB powered GPS receiver to attach to my astrophotography rig so I didn't have to keep putting in coordinates to my tracking software when I would move to a new site. This was perfect. Works perfectly. Read perfectly under Linux. Even worked indoors, where it lived upon arrival for a few weeks before being used in the field. So good, I bought a second one just to be able to synchronize time information on my home network. ## Features - 🚩 This VK-172 usb gps receiver module can support Windows, Andorid, Linux sytem, Raspberry PI and EMGRAND car and Goo()gle Earth. - 🚩 The default output of Vk 172 g-mouse is the product GPS protocol data.

This was perfect. Works perfectly. Read perfectly under Linux. Even worked indoors, where it lived upon arrival for a few weeks before being used in the field.

Have to use a USB extension cable though, as otherwise it hogs the neighboring port, though many usb devices are guilty of that. ## Frequently Bought Together - Stemedu VK172 GPS Module USB G-Mouse Dongle Receiver GPS/GLONASS Tracker for Windows 10/8/7/vista/XP for Goo.gle Earth/Andorid/Linux/Raspberry Pi System - VFAN USB GPS Receiver Antenna Gmouse for Laptop PC Car Marine Navigation Magnetic Base - 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 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/124746498-vk172-gps-module-usb-g-mouse-dongle-receiver-gps-glonass](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/124746498-vk172-gps-module-usb-g-mouse-dongle-receiver-gps-glonass) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
