The Pharos GPS receiver is working fine out of the box, but it often takes a loooooooong time to lock to satellite signals. I am not sure if this is due to the GPS receiver itself, or to the Ostia software, though.

Overall it is quite reliable (if I wait long enough... ). :)

For it's size you can't go wrong with this unit, READ the fine print before purchase, this one does not come with software ( must be purchased separately ).

I already had one of these prior to purchasing a new one on Amazon. The reason I had to purchase a new one is that the old one performed inconsistently and was not reliable. That said, I never received my order from the Seller on Amazon and so 1) would not recommend this product if you want something failsafe, and 2) I would not order from the seller on Amazon because they still haven't communicated with me even though they charged my credit card for the purchase.
