Loose connector. Would disconnect while connected to my laptop while driving. I would hit a bump and it would disconnect. I tried it on my desktop and just barely moving the device would make it disconnect. The seller I bought it from would not replace it. Better to look elsewhere for a gps for your laptop.

Used with Microsoft Streets and Trips. Works. No problems so far.Better than the piece of junk GPS from Microsoft.They should be embarrassed to sell stuff with no drivers included that won’t work.Oh Yeah, they sold us Vista,It didn’t work either,I should’ve known better. P.S. Keep your XP. !! Newer isn’t better.

Excelent GPS, I realy love it. I used it walking on streets, on Air Plane and car and locks to satelite very fast. It gives you 3D navigation.

The receiver worked as published. After a ‘cold’ start getting a good fix was immediate to 5 seconds. I used this with a Samsung netbook for navigation on a recent trip. I’d use the machine, then hibernate the machine. An hour or so latter I’d wake up the machine and the GPS would already have satellite lock before the machine would be ready (15 seconds). The satellite memory would last an hour or two without power. A ‘cold’ start took about 30 seconds. Once about every 5 ‘cold’ starts the receiver would give up and never get a lock. However once a lock was achieved the receiver worked flawlessly. As long as I gave it power ever hour or two it would keep the lock.

I bought this to use as a reference for time for one of my networks, I am in the process of building a USB cable that reaches outside (22 feet). My initial tests proved that it works with all of the laptops and servers I have connected it to. I am experimenting with the uses GPS provides such as tagging my pictures and connecting this to my computerized telescopes.
