Fun part is it is free. So if you try it and say. "This is shit" you lose nothing (assuming you are going to use that GPS for something else.) I just bought that GPS thing last week to replace the one I lost. Worked great in Windows 10.

If the device had some kind of GPS or cell modem, then that would likely solve the problem. Location services pull from different places, like IP, GPS, Cell Modems, and other things.

You can hook the GPS to your PC and use VisualGPS or the software from the GPS maker called u-center

It might just be a fluke thing with reception. Other then that, the VK-172 is a tested GPS and is proven to be reliable as far as the software goes.

The antenna is small and not as sensitive as others.

The BU-353-S4 is a remote GPS that can be located in a better spot than the stratux might be.

The RY835AI, in addition to having AHRS and pressure altitude on the chip, has a large antenna and the 4(2 835s and 2 836s) that I have have gotten their first fixafter opening the package from China in under 45 sec indoors in my living room(one story house). The GPS can be hooked up by USB and that would be enough. Alternately, the device could be soldered up to provide AHRS and Pressure altitude.(these features are in beta right now)

I use one of these, if your open to USB. Works great, good signal even in buildings http://www.amazon.com/GlobalSat-BU-353-S4-USB-Receiver-Black/dp/B008200LHW%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q%26tag%3Dduckduckgo-d-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB008200LHW


Should also search, lots of posts on the topic, and lots more on web searches

Pretty much any of the android set top boxes will do screen mirroring with something like miracast, and you can add gps to any of them with a receiver like: https://www.amazon.com/GlobalSat-BU-353-S4-USB-Receiver-Black/dp/B008200LHW

You just plug it into USB, and run something like the GPS Status to initiate it.

Oh, oh. Am I going to be sorry that I bought the Globalsat? There was one review in December by aerojoe777 who said that he was using it w/ Stratux.

I am using the GlobalSat BU-353-S4 USB as well. Although I had to make a couple of code changes to v0.5b5 which I flight tested last week and it worked great. I am planning to update to the latest releases and see what else needs to be done to make it a simple auto-detected and auto-configured device.

i used this.. no subscription, you can link it to NAVIT for free but i just used it for MPH since my speedometer is off and elevation.
it just uses existing satellites, so no one has to work harder for you having the service.

Your questions is sorta confusing. But anyway yes you can do this. Take a generic laptop, with, say, windows 7.

• Grab a usb gps sensor like this.
  
• Install the free GPSGate Splitter software
  
• Using the 'GPS in the Browser' output from GPS Gate, you can access the GPS output from JavaScript via their small api. From the code of your JavaScript web map (leaflet, google maps, open layers, etc) you can grab the location and display it on the map.

Yeah I use this one with great success and then use Google Earth and a program called GooPS. Use it everyday at work in my truck. You just have to deal with precaching google earth or having a hotspot on.
