Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of GlobalSat BU-353 Waterproof USB GPS Receiver
Customer Review: Globalsat BU-353 Very Fast
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Works as it should.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used this for a little over a month now with no problems. If I had to come up with anything negative to say about it, I guess it would be the plastic USB cord suction cup that is supposed to adhere it to the windshield. The clip for the cord is too wide for the cord which allows the cord to fall out. I've driven rigorously without the suction cup clip and the gps never falls off of the dash. No problems so far.Customer Review: Great GPS Receiver on budget!!

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.
Customer Review: Google Earth Friendly
Summary: 5 Stars
Wanted to interface Google Earth with a GPS and this piece of kit was excellent. Had to download a special program called Earth Bridge to get Google Earth to recognize the GPS data (GE only accepts direct access to a couple of GPS receivers)
Now with laptop, wireless internet, GE and my GlobalSat I have an accurate live navigation system.
Great buy
Happy navigating
Customer Review: Works Like A Charm!
Summary: 5 Stars
Item works right out of the box. Load the drivers first, then plug it in. That's all there is to it. I use in conjunction with Microsoft Map Point 2006 and the software easily identified the GPS on Comm 5. Made several road trips and it accurately depicted my location, speed and direction. I would recommend this receiver to anyone who already has mapping software and wants a reliable GPS receiver.
