Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of GlobalSat BU-353 Waterproof USB GPS Receiver
Customer Review: Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
Works great with every software I've tried. Doesn't "need" line of sight to work so you don't have to put it on your dash and it still works in heavily vegetated areas.Customer Review: Works well with my marine software: Navigator
Summary: 4 Stars
On my boat, as a back-up to the built-in electronic navigation devices, I use a laptop with navigator suite on it. I was looking for the Deluo GPS Receiver, but it was not available. This one works also (the Delorme does not even if it says it does on the box, and even with an extra downloaded software. Installation is easy and signal acquisition is fast. I'll report later when I'l have had a chance to try it on open seaCustomer Review: Works with CoPilot Truck
Summary: 4 Stars
Needed a replacement for the OEM receiver that came with Copilot Truck, a software routing program for semi trucks, it works (install driver first), BUT, I would have rated it higher if it weren't for the short cord. 5 feet?? That doesn't even get from the west coast style mirrors into the cab. got 10 foot extension cable and that did it, with a shrink tube at the outside connection.Customer Review: Great little GPS and very rugged
Summary: 5 Stars
I already have about 6 handheld GPS's, all which would have worked for me (but required more wires & space in my backpack) but I bought this one for convenience to go with my new Eee PC and Microsoft Streets. As other reviewers reported, it is amazingly good at getting a signal. When I first tried it, it actually got a signal INSIDE my hotel room (I am normally standing out in the parking lot with my GPS muttering 'acquire, acquire'.
It is also very well built... solid feeling, etc. Not cheaply made. Worth a little extra, IMHO.
It also works fine with all my marine navigation programs like Maxsea, The Capn, Nobeltec, etc. Very nice backup unit in a very small package.
Customer Review: GPS for laptop
Summary: 5 Stars
This Plug in GPS receiver works great. It had satellite lock and map location within 30 seconds.
