What do people think of these 2 mice http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...&category=4668 and http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...category=4668? are they likely to be any good? and will they work with all the different software availible?
Thanks

That appears to be the same GPS as the Rayming TN-200.

I've had the TN-200 for over a year now and have had no problems whatsoever. If it is the same as the TN-200, it will work with any software that supports NMEA, which should be about everything. Mine works well with Street Atlas 2004 and with Netstumbler.
I bought this one and am very happy with it. I use Delorme 2003 software with it and it locks on before I get the program up and running. Whenever I check I have had 8+ sats locked on. I paid $67 US for mine. I am sure you will like it.
Good luck,
Gary
***added: After reading dtr's message I thought I should add that I too mount my BU-303 on the roof of my SUV. I have not had any problems from snow or rain and it's built in magnet holds well without any movement.

I use one of these with Travroute CoPilot And it is fantastic, Plus the specifications state that the unit is waterproof. I have it mounted on my boot (trunk) lid (it's Magnetic), and it has seen some massive amounts of water and hasn't missed a beat.
Four and a half stars.

I have the one in the second link (LED on the side) and I got it off ebay as well. It works great with Mappoint 2004. Refreshes and locks quite quickly. It even worked through the roof of my car (mouse sitting on seat).
i am also kinda thinkin of getting that one....
Please excuse the stupid question, but why are these called 'mice'?
Aside, what's the difference between one of these and a regular GPS receiver, like a Rand McNalley, Delorme or Earthmate etc?

'cause they like cheese!
Thanks for all your advice guys
