Doesn't look like it's doing anything, but eventually the light will start blinking... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple and ubiquitous GPS receiver of decent sensitivity *by T***R on February 26, 2021* I originally set this up on a raspberry pi, on a table at least 6' inside a room with windows, and it was able to pick up enough of a signal to get useful time information. Once moved to just inside the window, with a sky view, it worked great, and has been since then. I bought it for use with ham radio related software, and found it to be quite reliable. It has been in continuous operation for two weeks. I chose to connect it to the Pi via a 10' USB3 cable, though it was working fine plugged directly into the Pi. Even worked with a PiZeroW. ## Frequently Bought Together - Geekstory G72 G-Mouse USB GPS Dongle Glonass Beidou GNSS Receiver Module for Raspberry Pi Linux Window Geekstory, Better Than vk-172 GPS - VFAN USB GPS Receiver Antenna Gmouse for Laptop PC Car Marine Navigation Magnetic Base - VK-162 G-Mouse USB GPS Dongle Navigation Module External GPS Antenna Remote Mount USB GPS Receiver for Raspberry Pi Support Google Earth Window Linux Geekstory --- ## 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.com.au/products/142977822-g72-usb-gps-module](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/142977822-g72-usb-gps-module) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
