5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!!!!, October 16, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This GPS is awesome!!! I have struggled with trying to interface handheld GPS to my laptop for a couple of years. I live aboard a sailboat in the Caribbean using navigation software to plan my passages and have been frustrated trying to use my handheld GPS input which resulted in continual problems. That has all been changed using this new GPS and couldn't be happier with it's ease of installation and awesome performance. It picks up the signal below at my nav station, aquires quickly and performs without causing any problems with my computer. I have tried several systems and this unit outperforms them and I cannot recommend this unit highly enough, you will not be sorry...

5.0 out of 5 stars Mac users rejoice!, March 2, 2006
The BU-353 can be used with BOTH OS 9 and 10. The latest PL-2303 drivers can be found here: http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31
With the OS 9 extension, I am using it with Street Atlas 6.0 Mac in classic mode. It takes about 6 seconds from a cold start to a 3d fix. The PowerBook or iBook can be put to sleep and still continues to track on waking. The BU-353 continues to track even in buildings where DeLorme's Earthmate with serial to USB adapter is a dead loss. The Globalsat BU-353 is a great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, January 25, 2007
By J. McMullen (Blackwood, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm using this receiver with a CarPC. This gets a 3D lock by the time the PC has come out of hibernation into the NAV software. Can't say enough. If you're looking, get this!
