GPYes 2.0 u-blox 8 USB GPS Unit

Godd value . Gps receiver works well!

Purchased this to use on a Raspberry Pi 3 Stratux build for use with Garmin Pilot. Stratux recognized the GPYes right away, and I had very accurate GPS data throughout my entire flight in Garmin Pilot. It took about 10 minutes for the GPYes to calibrate itself and establish a GPS fix on first use, but subsequent boots are much quicker. Generally speaking, the longer you leave it turned off, the longer it'll take to get a fix, but after that it works beautifully. By the time you complete your runup, the GPYes is ready to go.

Great product for the Stratux home build. I like the internal GPS vs external for all the usual reasons. I was getting 30m fix BEFORE a special modification that I made. NOW I getting a 10m fix and much less fluctuations than prior to my add on...and that's on the ground in the backyard. Havent tried it in the plane yet, but prior to the mod I was getting a 30m fix in the air.So what I added was a piece of thin cardboard from a box of coke cans. I carefully wrapped one side of the cardboard with two plys of kitchen aluminum foil. Then slipped the the homemade EMI/RFI shield inbetween the GPS and the SDRs. And what-d-know...it works much better! My thinking was the SDRs were affecting performance even with GPS inserted into the top USB port. The aluminum foil seems to provide an additional shielding. Hope this helps anyone else that's tinkering with their Stratux!

The device is what it says it is, but I find the built-in antenna is basically useless as inside connected to a desktop or mac the noise is so high it does not sync. With an external antenna and the right connectors it works reasonably well. I have not had time to see if one can get a usable PPS signal out of it, but I hope to try that soon.

Had difficulty picking up satellites initially, only picked up a few, and was intermittent reception. I rerouted antenna wires for sdl under the receiver, and now have awesome reception. I am still running the pi 2, and was able to accommodate with the WiFi usb by clipping a bit from the corner of the board on the gps unit.

Keep this in a plastic Stratux box and use it with ForeFlight. Accuracy seems to be very good, Stratux and ForeFlight report different thing but I've seen down to 1m while still on the ground. Looking back at the recorded flight log, I would agree with that. Seems to be very reliable at tracking satellites. I love being able to export .gpx files and overlay telemetry data on videos of my flights. For the price, you really can't beat it.

I bought this as part of a bunch of parts to make a Stratux ADS-B receiver, as recommended by stratux.me. Nice high quality parts, all went together very well, quick & easy assemble. Finished product works well. Took less than an hour to put it all together. Sure beats paying $700 for Stratus, or even some $270 for a pre-assembled Stratux.

This GPS, as part of the Stratux portable ADS-B receiver set, works very well with Foreflight, the electronic flight bag application. If you're an aviator and you use a WiFi only tablet without a GPS, this item can provide you with moving map functionality as part of a Stratux rig.Regarding its use in concert with the AHRS: it's still "experimental," and I wouldn't try an approach to minimums with it just yet. But as a GPS, it does what it says on the tin.
