Likely will not connect directly to an autopilot. **Q: Do you need to load a cd to configure, or can you configure online, or is it plug and go? using coastal explorer on surface book 4 with windows 10** A: I’m afraid my application is different from what you want to do. I’m using it in my stratux GPS/ADS-B device. What I can tell you is that the software run in this device recognized it immediately. The Stratux runs on a raspberry Pi 2, I believe. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb. *by T***S on April 22, 2026* This thing is just excellent. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with Windows PC *by L***E on January 19, 2026* Works great for PC mapping project ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product *by F***O on April 14, 2026* Excellent product and verry fast ship ## Frequently Bought Together - VK-162 USB GPS Dongle - Remote Mount USB - External GPS Navigation Dongle - Supports Stratux, Raspberry Pi, Google Earth, Windows, Linux - VFAN USB GPS Receiver Antenna Gmouse for Laptop PC Car Marine Navigation Magnetic Base - WWZMDiB VK-172 USB GPS Dongle Receiver: Compatible with for GPS/GLONASS Positioning System --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/69718884-vk-162-usb-gps-dongle-remote-mount-usb-external-gps](https://www.desertcart.is/products/69718884-vk-162-usb-gps-dongle-remote-mount-usb-external-gps) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
