Hi, I try to make my usb dongle to work.
First I try to add connection in Serial 2.1.0. I give alias and then I make connection to SignalK. I also make connection in Opencpn (network, localhost, 10110 or 2947, TCP). I have only data in NMEA debug window but don't see position on map.
Second I try GPSD but I have the same situation. Also when I choose serial connection in Opencpn. I see only data in NMEA debug window.
Can somebody help me?

Hi, thanks for response. I have Raspberry Pi 3B+ inside my home so I will try to take in on my balcony today

I had the same Problems with one of these USB GPS. My Problem was solved with an longer USB Cable, more away from the Raspi and the DCDC Converter 12-5V. After the Delocating the Quality of Respone was way better. So try an longer Cable or an USB Hub.
For the Connection i only use the Serial for the Name & SignalK Server tho get the Data.

Hi, I think You have different version. Can You tell me what connection do You have in OpenCPN?

Hello, i use openplotter 2.0.
In OpenCPN there is only the normal input from SignalK on TCP from localhost and port 10110.
In SignalK-Server go to Connections like my screenshot.
Use the Plugin: Package Name: @signalk/signalk-to-nmea0183
This connection outputs an NMEA Stream with all the activated NMEA01983 Messages
(Package Name: @signalk/signalk-to-nmea0183)
aktive are: DPT - Depth GGA - Time, position, and fix related data GLL - Geographical position, latitude and longitude HDG - Heading magnetic:. HDM - Heading Magnetic HDM - Heading Magnetic, calculated from True RMC - GPS recommended minimum
you should see the data running in in OpenCPN connections: Show NMEA Monitor.

Hello, I install Openplotter on my ubuntu laptop and make connections like You. Now when I go to balcony GPS works. Thank You very much.
If You have time and if You know how to setup DVB-T SDR USB Dongle to work with Openplotter please answer to my post on forum. Link

are you sure you need the @signalk/signalk-to-nmea0183? Doesn't signalk echo nmea coming in out again? Mine does anyway , usb gps dongle messages connected to sigk through openplotter serial app go to port 10110 without the @signalk/signalk-to-nmea0183 app running.
