I need an accurate time source for ham radio. can someone suggest windows programs that can acheive this with this little device? m

DB: I'm a ham also-KC2WYU. I use this receiver to sync my laptop time with internet time so I can work FT8 and other digital modes. I use a program called NEATIme2 by VisualGPS, LLC, You can try it for free for 30 days or buy it for a very reasonable price. Hope this helps you. I bought it for a one time fee and had no problems. Joe.

How do you make it work? I downloaded a driver, but nothing shows up on Google Maps.

It has been several months but when I tested my dongle I ended up going to the chip mfg site and downloaded their evaluation/development app and that worked enough to show me that the dongle was working in a chromebook using android apps.

Can I configure it to broadcast on any comm port and any baud rate?

If we are talking a Windows machine, the computer will automatically assign the GPS USB receiver a virtual com port number (ex. COM3, COM7, etc) that will appear to software the same as if it were a hardware serial port. It is possible to change the port number, but this is a function of Windows, and works the same for any device that presents as a virtual serial port. Software that accesses the data stream will need to know the correct virtual com port number so it can open it, and only one piece of software can access the data at a time. The serial baud rate can be set to a variety of standard rates using the standard windows API. The GPS device will then send out a continuous stream of NMEA messages that contain the location and other related data.

Would it be compatible for an iPad mini 2 with a usb to Lightning adapter?

No you can't use accessories like that on iOS
