Digital camera reviews of GlobalSat BU-353 Waterproof USB GPS Receiver
Digital camera Review: At least 1,000 times better than DeLorme GPS Receivers, and STILL LESS EXPENSIVE!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this unit when during drive from Southern Alabama to Southern Minnesota, NEITHER DeLorme GPS receiver I have would hold location tracking more than 1 - 3 miles at a time. Entire drive (over 1200 miles) DeLorme GPS receivers kept lock for TOTAL of MAYBE 15 - 20 miles!!!
Ordered this GPS receiver while in MN. During return trip, THIS GPS receiver received accurate location lock within 45 seconds, and kept solid lock on location for the ENTIRE 1200+ miles with ONLY loss along 3 miles stretch of I-65 just near Huntsville, Alabama, and during that short stretch of road, NONE of the GPS receivers could hold a location lock, and my handheld GPS was ALSO losing satellite signals... Acted like that short area of I-65 may be affected by some RF noise causing many, if not all GPS systems to have nearly impossible satellite reception in that area.
But even in that stretch of I-65, this GPS receiver for my computer was quicker at regaining satellite lock and location fix than either my handheld or the other computer GPS receivers I had with me to try.
