Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a USB powered GPS receiver to use witn my Asus Netbook ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 10.5 Hour Battery Lifeand Microsoft Streets and Trips software. I didn't buy the Microsoft one at first because I thought my Garmin eTrex would work - but although it is a great field GPS, it doesn't support NMEA codes that Streets and Trips (and other software packages) require. So, the GlobalSat unit fit the bill. Easy to install with included drivers and it's high sensitivity antenna even picked up enough satellites from inside the building to get a pretty good fix. Terrific. I have yet to use it on a road trip but at least now I'm ready.Customer Review: Great addition for navigation
Summary: 5 Stars
Computer acquired within 15 seconds and fix established even though I was indoors. Using with Chart Navigator Pro and works as advertized. I am running with Windows Vista 64 bit and experienced no problem with setup or running. Would definitely recommend this solution for GPS positioning.Customer Review: Good little GPS receiver
Summary: 4 Stars
The BU-353 worked nicely with my old Pentium Toshiba laptop. I use it with the OziExplorer navigation program and the GPS identified as a NMEA0183 "other" type GPS receiver.
The unit seems to be accurate to within 10 feet and does all I could expect. Just have to remember that it is only a receiver with no memory for waypoints, tracks, routes or the other things that a full up GPS navigation unit normally has. Of course that is why it is small and inexpensive. Use your laptop and a program and you have a full navigation unit.
