 Terrible Mar 05, 2010
My laptop computer will not recognize this product , the software was installed using Vista and it says the USB port is working with that software. I have emailed the company requesting support they have not answered my request. Don't waste your money.
 Fast and worked right out of the box Feb 20, 2010
The receiver worked within a few seconds after I told Streets & Trips to activate the GPS. It works at my home, in the basement! It does seem to drift around a little bit while I'm stationary, but overall I'm very pleased with it.
The Best for your buck Feb 18, 2010
This Little GPS is the best I have used for the money. If I boot up with it attached by the time I open streets and trips it is synced up and ready.
Excellent unit Feb 11, 2010
This is a great piece of equipment!
I used to use my Garmin Etrex to provide GPS info to my laptop but it required a tangle of cable for power from the cigarette lighter and data to the computer, plus a serial to USB adapter (since the Garmin only outputs to a serial port and my new laptop doesn't have one - only USB). The setup was a mess in the car and it crashed Streets and Trips regularly.
The BU-353 doesn't have a display like the Garmin so it can't work on its own - but it is fabulous at what it does do: provide GPS position information to the laptop. It takes its power from the USB port and so only has one cable - for both power and data. It outputs in USB format so there is no serial to USB converter. It's clean, it's compact, it's easy to use and it works very, very well.
And it's incredibly sensitive. I put it as far forward on my dash as I could so it could get maximum exposure to the sky through it windshield and it worked great. Then once I forgot to put it up and left it on the passenger seat - upside down and under the laptop. And once again it worked beautifully.
And it's waterproof so I can use it on the boat.
As I said, a great piece of equipment.
Works on Mac (with VN Ware) and DeLorme Topo 8.0 Feb 11, 2010
I installed DeLorem Topo 8.0 on a Mac that was running Windows XP on a VMware Fusion virtual machine, and connected the GPS receiver. Everything works well.
Special thanks to Amazon for rectifying a problem. The first time I ordered the GlobalSat BU-353 GPS receiver, it went to the wrong address and got lost by the post office. Amazon quickly refunded my money, even though I don't think the error was their fault.
