This USB GPS receiver is cheap and very sensitive. It will pick up signals
indoors where other GPS receivers won't.

It works great with Windows and Linux including a Raspberry Pi. It shows up
looking like an ordinary serial port but the speed (baud) setting is
ignored.
Here is one example of how I used it, not just for getting location, but
also to set the real-time system clock.
