NMEA GPS Receiver, for NMEA Applications. Does not count as a Windows Sensor, and thereby does not provide location services to Windows.
PRO:
-weatherized to handle all but submersion.
-magnet and rubber pad allow it to attach to many surfaces without damage. This includes the body panels of a car!
-complies with NMEA standards.
--Presents as a standard USB-to-Serial interface. The NMEA interface uses the following settings: COM4, 4800 Baud
-Updates location once a second (1Hz).
CON:
-No support for Windows Location Services. This device is exclusively an NMEA device. It will work anywhere NMEA works, meaning the overwhelming majority of classic location application, but zero modern Windows applications.
-While marketed as "waterproof", it is only IPX6 rated, meaning it is not truly waterproof. It can handle a very hard rainstorm, though.
-only one location update per second (1Hz). There is a 5Hz version, but this is NOT that product.
NOTE: there's a software package that will connect to an NMEA device and create a Windows Sensor for use with Location services. This is a software workaround for the lack of native software from the hardware manufacturer. It has some bugs. But mostly, it works. The package in question is called GPSdirect, from TurboIRC.
My only hangups are with the software. I know this device complies with the standards it claims to support. But it's 2015, and there are newer standards.
