works with Android charts/maps - but not without major setup

I'm using it on a Chuwi Hi10 pro Android 5.1 tablet with no internal GPS receiver. For charts Navionics mobile marine charts are installed. BTW, should work on any Android 3.1 to 5.1, and maybe later versions. Setup - here's the scoop: Using "You are Here GPS" free download from Amazon. Prefer this app/driver over "Prolific P2303 usb uart" because it will give you the Lon/Lat fix in addition to just NMEA sentences. !!!!!Important!!!! My ND-105C arrived at a GPS fix only when connected via the USB pigtail it came with. Did NOT get a GPS fix at all when directly plugged into tablet's the micro-usb socket - maybe there's laptop RF interference!! Check for blinking red light on the ND-105 to confirm fix. After "You are here GPS" is installed, shut down Wifi and disable "Scanning always available" under Wifi/Advanced. This makes sure your ND-105 receiver is used and not the Google location service in case you have Wifi or an internal GPS receiver. Now go to "About tablet" click on "Built Number" 7-10 times. This brings up the "developer options". Turn on "Developer options" and "Allow Mock Locations". This will replace the internal GPS (or Google location service in my case) with the external ND-105 GPS receiver. Now start "You are here GPS" and you see the NMEA sentences and LON/Lat. Use the circle icon on your tablet to send it to the background w/o killing it. Now start you maps/charts and you should see location icon on the map. It may happen that "you are here GPS" has stopped. In that case unplug and re-plug the ND-105 and start "You are here GPS " and click connect to the device. Note the baud rate is 4800. Long setup and not documented with Android OS, combined with the flaky receive w/o usb pigtail, it's not plug and play - but it works!

Dongle vs. integrated GPS chip

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.

It works!

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.

Works with Android as long as ...

you install first the Play Stores 1) "Prolific PL2303 USB-Uart" app and 2) search Store for the "USB GPS" app. Then I rebooted and once up again inserted the unit into the included std size usb to usb micro adapter cable and the popup will ask what program you want to use for it and you select the app. To save hassle, select use once unit you know it works. I also went into androids Developers options in Setup (Google that if you don't know how to make that option appear, it's not there by default) and selected "Mock" Locations and the app should show up as a option that you want to use when this is plugged in, select it. If it doesn't show, find and install a app that does. This "mock" location is for developer testing without a gps so they can simulate locations for software testing, but can also be used to redirect this units output to it , making it a real mock location, tricking android into using the external gps rather than the internal. When done, it may seem like it's not working as many gps apps seem to ignore mock locations and show 0 sats being available. Ignore that. I went to google maps and asked it to find my location and it did within 30' using this unit. Make sure this unit is the one being used by unplugging it and it should lose you. If you still show, might have to force stop or clear cache of old gps. I didn't have that problem. They also would like you to install a terminal program app called "Serial Terminal for PL2303HDX" app to confirm the data is being read. I used a different one in Play Store, didn't see that one right off there. I also noticed the regular GPS program's apps will not see satellites from this unit as they seem to be set up for the internal GPS only, so don't despair, test further, it could be working anyway.

It works.

So first off I purchased for a kindle fire tablet. I couldn’t use the pl app it says to use but i finally found one that works. I’m not 100% impressed but it does work.
