The Deluo USB GPS weighs less than three ounces, so it is easy to just tuck into your laptop bag, briefcase or even your pocket when you are going somewhere.

Deluo makes great products. And for this price you can't ask for more.

The product is well built. It works 100% as described in the product description.

The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of minor delay in locking all the satellites and lacking WAAS and SIRF features.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Features, Problematic reception, February 8, 2008

I purchased this to use in my car with a laptop. Installation was smooth. I was unable to pick up a satellite signal from inside my home, or from a window sill with large unobstructed views of the sky.
In my car I discovered that the receiver works well when on the roof (it has a built-in magnetic base), however it loses the signal when on the dash by the windshield inside the car. Microsoft Streets & Trips 2008 works fine, with the one minor annoyance of having to press a function key (F3)to re-route should you need to change your route while traveling.
A more sensitive receiver and more flexible re-routing would enhance this otherwise nice product.
