Hi folks !
Since a few weeks, ebay is invaded by counterfeit USB GPS modules : after an autopsy of the 1st DOA item, it looks like an antenna, with its coax cable, to which is attached ... an USB connector !
This design, due to a brainless monkey, will not make you loose your money (Paypal refunds within a week), but your time : you will have lost 4 to 6 weeks in your project development, if you needed a gps !!!
I received twice the same bullshit, though after the 1st experience I had ordered a different type, but I finaly received, as a 'replacement', the dummy gps unit(s) !
BTW, ebay doesn't accept the word "bullshit" but the expression 'Cow excrement' doesn't trigger the politeness bot !
Now I shop on Aliexpress, without any illusion ...
