The u-blox 5 GPS and GALILEO Location Sensor is a GPS and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver module that supports multiple satellite constellations, including GPS (Global Positioning System) and Galileo, to provide accurate location and navigation data. These modules are often used in applications like GPS navigation, asset tracking, and location-based services.

For Windows-based computers, the u-blox 5 driver enables the system to communicate with and retrieve location data from the sensor, whether it's connected via a USB or serial port. The driver allows software applications to access the GPS/GNSS data for use in navigation, mapping, or other location-based tasks.
