Product Reviews

Works Well

This sensor worked well with the nxt and brickpi (haven’t tried on ev3).  I found the documentation easily on their website and added gps to my robot (including altitude and satellites in view.READ MORE

I expected more for the price

This is not a unit for beginners! It doesn’t actually look like this when you get it, It doesn’t include documentation of any kind, and it doesn’t include a case or enclosure to protect it. Apparently there are extended features (which are described in the outdated information strewn across web pages, wikis, and forums) but there isn’t any updated code that provides that data. You can’t currently get altitude, HDOP, and satellites in view.Support is almost non-existent as any technical questions submitted through the website get a response instructing you to post to a small and lethargic forum where the question will be partially answered at best. I bought this to use with the BrickPi and it gets two stars because it basically works, but I expected a little more for the price.READ MORE
