Pros

Being wired it than a bluetooth gps does the job well. Accurate and better for any efb than using the ipad gps. If you are using a device that has gps built in disable one or the other, both of them together will case your course to hop around a bit.

The trick that works for me is to plug it in, start xgps, unplug it and then in a couple of seconds replug. No hassle, just works! Works way better than the internal gps. I love this thing gets a lock fast after its first cold start.

    The device is in fact a ublox 7 gps receiver and its on the ublox website youll easily find the drivers for it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When i plugged this receiver into my stratux foreflight showed my accuracy at 3 meters when it was 10 meters with the internal gps unit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I don know if the unit is water resistant but you could mount it on the deck in a waterproof enclosure if you find that it cant acquire enough satellites

    I am not sure why this lists suction power it doesnt have a suction cup on it but it does have a magnetic base

    I didnt even realize this had a magnet i attached it to the top of the stratux via velcro
