Got this to go with a cheap Walmart Android tablet and the free Avare aviation nav app to serve as a navigation backup in my airplane. Although I haven't flown with it yet, it seems to work just fine driving around. I had trouble finding the Prolific PL2303 USB-UART app they say to use with it, so I am using the Amazon You Are Here GPS app and it is working okay as well. 4 stars for the difficulty in finding the Prolific PL2303 USB-UARTapp that is supposed to be on the Globalsat website. But for less than $100 all in, I have a decent backup that rivals the big buck systems. I'm quite pleased about that.

Worked fine for two months, until it didn't. Started with "device descriptor failed" message in device manager to not being recognized at all when plugged into any computer. Thinking that perhaps it was the USB pigtail that comes with it, tried plugging directly into and Android device too with no success. It's dead and I'm out 28 bucks.

This GPS module has been used to navigate ocean routes for the last year and a half. It is paired with a $150 Lenovo S31 laptop, with 32G SSD and just 2G of RAM. The navigation program is Coastal Navigator. The processor in the laptop is an Intel N series, which is slow, but draws low power and is still plenty fast enough to run the navigation program. The GPS has an 8 inch USB to micro USB to connect it to the laptop. It velcro attaches to the upper right margin on the screen.The GPS module is very accurate, even below deck. I checked the signal strength of the satellites above deck and found only marginally higher signal strength. The cloud layer and humidity are more important to signal strength than the deck of the boat. Startup is always fast, but I recommend letting it warm up while the boat is being prepared for sailing. When the Speed Over Ground drops to 0.01 knot, the GPS is ready to navigate. Just the size of a large postage stamp, but just as accurate as large dedicated units. While I have not experienced any GPS related problems, I would recommend carrying a spare. For just $30, why not? I also have a dedicated Garmin sounder GPS, but only use that looking for a sandy spot to anchor. Want a larger screen? Just buy a larger laptop. Total cost of the navigation package is only $500. The cost of a 14" screen and a dedicated unit is $5000 !!Cockpit repeaters are connected via Bluetooth, as is the Garmin. With the GPS attached to the screen of the laptop, the laptop is free to move about the boat. With a wireless mouse, the GPS system is much easier to use than any dedicated system. Ideal laptops to use would be an ASUS UX430UA, or a Lenovo 720s, although any low cost, low power (long battery life) laptop would work.UPDATE: Not only is the original device still working just fine, 8/11/2020, just received another one as a backup as the Garmin bluetooth connection has recently failed. MIght be something wrong with the most recent Win10 update.Anyway, very pleased to relay new information on an obviously greatly improved ND-105C GPS module. The original ND-105C, required an hour or more of warmup to reach a low .01 knot Speed over Ground (SOG). This new unit was at .01 knot after only 3 minutes! Quite an improvement!

The first one I received stopped working after a couple days. It would not acquire satellites even when plugged in for half an hours or so. So I contacted the good folks at Amazon and they provided return instructions and immediately sent me a replacement. They credited the price back once they received the return. The new one has worked for about a month now and it's worked flawlessly so I'm well pleased with it. The drivers are the same as for the larger (mouse type) GlobalSat GPS which I have already so I didn't even have to use the mini-CD that came with it to load the drivers. This is great for devices that have the micro-USB connection but it will also work with standard-size USB using the included adapter cable. Works with Windows and Mac.

The product arrived on time, and it was packed very nicely. It contained the USB dongle and a cable USB - micro USB, which was a nice addition. Unfortunately the disk with the drivers and the software was a mini disk, so not much of use on my particular laptop. Since there was no way to install the software from the CD-ROM, I went to the company / product page in order to download the necessary drivers, but unfortunately the download link says "Not available". Luckily the Windows 7 Pro managed to install correctly the driver and recognized correctly the dongle. Next, I needed the software in order to actually test the GPS data, but again no luck. It took me a good half an hour of searching the Internet for a link to the correct software and eventually I was able to have the GPS data flowing to my laptop.Next, I went on to test the dongle on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, since the main purpose of the device was to be used on mobile devices. The software part was a bit more straight forward, since Google Play Store has the utility needed for the dongle to work right away (at least on my Android 4.2.2 version). Unfortunately the accuracy of the GPS dongle is lower than the accuracy of the integrated GPS chip on my tablet. For example, in Google Maps as well as in another 3rd party GPS app, the accuracy of the dongle was reported as 10 meters, while the integrated chip of the tablet had an accuracy of 4 meters. Also, the fix on the satellites appears to be weaker on the dongle (inside the cabin for example it lost the fix on the signal while the native chip of the tablet did not). The reported speed and the altitude were the same though. This test was done while sailing a few miles off the coast of Florida, Miami.Overall, the device works and it does serve it`s purpose if it is used on devices without native GPS chips (like a laptop for example) but it is less accurate than some of the integrated GPS chips on the modern mobile devices.
