Globalsat BU-353 Mouse GPS

Hi John,

As a GPS receiver, the BU353 will provide all you need.
As it plugs into the computers USB port it receives the power from the PC.

Very effective and very compact.

John, as a dumb receiver it's fine. Been using the 353 with Trackranger and Ozi for several years now. Reception has never faltered from its dash position. If you wanted more functionality (and the attendant complexity) have you considered a data logger mouse GPS instead?

Cheers Mick

If your looking at the Globalsat BU-353 you may want to look at the Qstarz BT-818x.

Much better then the BU-353.

Hi John
I have all sorts when I head bush. I use the BU 353 to continualy record track data for the times when I remove a GPS from the laptop, but still want to record track data. As I do silly things like going to confluences, I use the hand held Garmin Vista or GPS 60. All 3 units run from the USB's on the laptop, so I am not chasing power. You will find that the BU 353 lock onto and get coverage very quick.

Great little units and are well worth the money.

Cheers

Hi John,
The BU353 as a dumb receiver does everything I want with OziExplorer. I've used my roof-mounted BU353 in thick Karri forest in the SW, and it has not missed a beat, whereas my old Garmin was dropping out frequently. My only criticism is that the cable is a bit short if you're sticking it to the roof, and a USB extension lead is needed (cheap anyway).
cheers,
Gerry
