## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work on the Raspberry Pi?**
A: Essentially plug-n-play on the Raspberry Pi 4.  Restart gpsd and you're done.  Works well for me indoors too.

**Q: Will this work with Win 8.1, 64-bit?  Not 32-bit.  Not Win 7. But Win 8.1, 64-bit. No one has specifically said.**
A: This works with my Surface Pro 3 which is a 64 bit, Windows 8.1 machine. Plug it in and Windows will install the driver automatically.

**Q: Could I hook this up to an Android mini PC(Android Mini PC RK3188)? Tell me yes and I'm going to jump up and down with glee! :)**
A: Yes, you might, if you have Android 3.1 or later. Just takes a bit of work, but no rooting required.1) You have to download UsbGPS4Honeycomb_MR1_alpha.apk. Install it. You get USB GPS app, look for that name and a dish icon. 2) Enable "Allow mock locations" on your device by going to Settings > Applications > Development. Then, turn on "Allow mock locations".3) Connect your GPS receiver via OTG cable or powered USB hub.4) Figure out which USB Device the GPS antenna now is in your Android (looks like dev/bus/usb/001/002 etc). The free app 'USB Device Info' will help. Look for "Prolific' in 'Vendor Name'. 5) Start USB GPS app and tell it to use that port.6) Turn on GPS in USB GPS app. If all is OK you will not see any error messages. The GPS is on now. You can get free apps like GPS Toolbox to see if GPS data is actually flowing.7) Launch your favorite GPS navigation app (Google Maps will do for now). It should see the GPS signal without any tweaks. If not, then your Android device/phone/tablet may not be compatible. Google it.

**Q: I need very accurate time for my computer can this automatically tell windows the time?**
A: Yes
