Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of GlobalSat BU-353 Waterproof USB GPS Receiver
Customer Review: works perfectly
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a cheap alternative to buying a GPS unit, and having already owned some street map software, this was perfect. i used this for a few trips and the only problems i had were the fact that my software was not up to date(some addresses were missing and i was lost for about 30 minutes). This did everything that i had wanted it too, and paired seamlessly with just about every street map software that exists. I would recommend this to anyone with a laptop looking for a navigational system.Customer Review: Great unit
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this as a replacement for my GPS that came with Microsofts Streets and Trips. What wonderful unit. It starts to track in about half the time as my other unit.
It even picks up the satelites indoors for me. Unlike my other unit that would loose tracking under an outdoor canopy.
I also like the magnet on the back of the receiver that holds it in place on my dash or any other metal object. No more sticking suction cups to the windshield. i cant recommend this product enough.
Customer Review: Great little GPS unit
Summary: 5 Stars
While I haven't used this unit for long, it has operated flawlessly in the time I have had it. Even indoors (within 15 feet of a large window) I get 8 to 10 satellites. The unit is small, compact, magnetically mounted and perfect for use with a laptop. the cord is a tad short for some larger vehicle, but a USB extension cord solves this problem.
I purchased this unit as it has good Linux support (my intended platform) though all testing was done under Windows 7 on a netbook.
Customer Review: Works well generally but
Summary: 4 Stars
Had some issues with the driver. It blue screened on me several times upon installation on one machine. I switched to another and it worked OK so it must have some conflict with another driver or piece of software on that one machine. Not something that I had anticipated but perhaps I should have. Other than that, I have to say it works well with most of the standard mapping software from the dash or the top of the van. I was impressed with its functionality. Give it a try.Customer Review: Globalsat BU 353 GPS Receiver

I bought this gps antenna about a month ago for my toshiba laptop computer and i have to say that it is far better than the other one that i had. I highly recommend this antenna if you are a trucker with GPS software on a laptop. I have microsoft mappoint software and this antenna really makes this software run properly.The position updates for this antenna are alot faster than any gps antenna that i have used before,and the positioning is extremely accurate.
