User reviews
Acer Chromebook 720 - nothing fancy - Chrome Version 64.0.3282.144 (Official Build) (64-bit) USB GPS puck - $20 or so from China. U-blox UBX-G70xx chipset I think. NMEA Slueth works great - installed, plugged in GPS, select serial/usb port, hit "Open", and the data streams in. I need to see the raw NMEA strings and this shows the raw data and parses it out (click on the string for satelites in view, and you see a parsed list of all the satellites in view and the receive characteristics. I don't need to see my location on a map, and my location is usually stationary, so the nautical dashboard is nice, but not something I will use, but if you need that it looks complete. Well done!
