Do you reckon this eBay USB GPS Antenna (https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F143312562035) will work with a Raspberry Pi and if so will I be to use this tutorial to utilise it: https://youtu.be/A1zmhxcUOxw

All answers appreciated! Eddie

  • Your eBay GPS ad has no model number or spec. I would rather buy from AliExpress or Amazon, with spec and instructions. Your tutorial as a bit too brief. You can find more more references and tutorials from Google or this thread: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/98840/is-my-gps-module-fried – tlfong01 Aug 07 '19 at 13:20
  • I’ll have a quick check on AliExpress – Eddie's Tech Aug 07 '19 at 15:07
  • Thanks so much! AliExpress is great! See my new answer for more info – Eddie's Tech Aug 07 '19 at 16:57

Just had a look on AliExpress and found this: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/eICTLDO

On one of the images in the item description it claims it supports Raspberry Pi! It is a bit more expensive at £4 instead of £3, but with the AliExpress New Customer Voucher it goes down to £1.16!

Thanks everyone, I will buy this one!

It should work. GPS units have a pretty basic but standard interface.

I have no idea if the linked tutorial is any good as I couldn't be bothered to sit and watch it.

  • It’s fine that you didn’t watch the video! I’ll just buy the thing and see if it works! I mean what’s there to lose? £3! – Eddie's Tech Aug 07 '19 at 15:05
  • That would be my attitude as well. I know £3 is a lot for some people but if you can afford it then I'd take the small risk of it not working. – joan Aug 07 '19 at 15:10
  • Hi! Turns out on AliExpress I can get one for even cheaper. See my new answer for more info! – Eddie's Tech Aug 07 '19 at 16:57
