GNSS receiver Navilock NL-802UC EVA-M8Q — USB Type-C 2.0, 1.5 m cable

The Navilock NL-802UC EVA-M8Q GNSS receiver is a compact external positioning device that connects via USB Type-C 2.0 and is supplied with a 1.5 m cable. Based on the u-blox EVA-M8Q chipset, it receives signals from multiple GNSS constellations to deliver accurate position fixes for mapping, surveying, navigation, and data-logging tasks when used with compatible software and host devices. The receiver is designed for mobile installations and fieldwork where an external GNSS input improves location accuracy compared with internal device antennas.

Advantages

The NL-802UC provides multi-constellation satellite reception for reliable positioning in varied environments. Its USB Type-C 2.0 interface offers plug-and-play connectivity with modern laptops, tablets and some mobile devices, while the included 1.5 m cable allows flexible placement of the antenna for better sky visibility. The compact form factor and industry-standard chipset ensure broad software compatibility and predictable performance in mapping and navigation workflows.

Suitable for

• Field mapping and GIS data collection
• Surveying tasks that require external GNSS input
• Vehicle and mobile installations needing improved positional accuracy
• Navigation and route tracking on laptops and compatible tablets
• Data logging and timing synchronization in remote setups

Key specifications

• GNSS chipset: u-blox EVA-M8Q
• Interface: USB Type-C 2.0 connection
• Cable length: 1.5 metres (fixed cable included)
• Multi-constellation support for enhanced satellite coverage
• Compact external receiver design suitable for mobile mounting

How to use

Connect the NL-802UC to a host device using the supplied USB Type-C 2.0 cable. Install or enable compatible GNSS or mapping software on the host device so it can read external GNSS input; the device typically appears as an external GNSS source or serial/GPS input in the application. Place the receiver where it has a clear view of the sky to maximise satellite reception and wait for the receiver to acquire a stable fix before starting mapping, surveying or navigation tasks.

Recommendations

For best positioning results, mount the receiver with minimal obstructions to the sky and avoid placement near large metal structures or dense foliage. Use the full cable length to position the antenna for optimal view of the horizon, and verify software settings to ensure the host application accepts external GNSS input from the USB Type-C interface.
