Mac users rejoice! March 3, 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.

purchased this GPS unit because of the fast satellite acquire times and great GPS lock. I was not disappointed. This unit replaces my DeLorme Earthmate which was good, but this unit is unreal. I set up a route from inside my house and got the GPS lock in a couple seconds! This is so much faster than the DeLorme and I could never have done it in the house. Usually it always takes 1 to 2 minutes to get the GPS lock with the DeLorme and that's outside in the driveway. Talk about keeping a lock, this unit never dropped the 3D signal once on a very hilly, high foliage and rural area on the 125 mile trip. The DeLorme unit always dropped the 3D signal at least 5 times over the same route. The DeLorme unit is very good, but this one is fantastic! This GPS unit is always locked onto at least 8 to 10 satellites. This unit is also much more accurate, especially estimating the time to the next turn. It seems to have very accurate vechile speed determination. The DeLorme was always way off by 30 or more seconds. This unit computes the time to within a second. I do like the DeLorme software and if you purchase this GPS unit you will be very happy. Now I'll have to try it in the downtown area.
Globalsat BU-353 Very Fast May 18, 2006

I replaced my Deluo GPS with the Globalsat and have been very impressed at how fast it acquired the satellites. I use it with Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 and it works great. I would highly recommend the device.
The only downside is DO NOT BOOT-UP a Dell Notebook with the Globalsat GPS USB plugged in or Windows could crash. I find it better to unplug the USB connection when I power down the notebook pc.
Can't beat the price and quality August 23, 2006

Great item! Must have! I got a fix from at least 6 satelites in under a minute. Extemely accurate even with only 4 sats. Works with Streets and Trips 2006, iGuidance, Street Atlas, and after some tweaking Nroute too! :D I stongly recommend this product, even if you don't travel much, this can get you out of a jam in under 2 seconds flat. Time is money, and this gps will save you a lot of both.

When I was looking for a GPS receiver to go with my Asus EEE PC 4G, I read the reviews I could find and decided i go with BU-353 GPS receiver. My order turned up quickly at my door, installed the drivers and then plugged it into my Asus EEE PC 4G. It registered the location with 8 satelites!
We took it on a test drive and very much please with the performance. I would recommend it to friends & others.
