Im looking round for similar at the moment. Not found any good value for money gps software really. Had a look into destinator, but it doesnt look very good. And its damn hard to find the SDK from legal sources, let alone if you wanted to electronically aquire it! Having a look at Navgion 5 but still not found any kind of trial to see if i like it, although version 6 does look good
Yep, the one with just USB. The Holux 213 model (no PS/2 connector or anything). Works amazingly well.Originally Posted by Maheriano
That one looks like it needs a power supply other than the USB cable. Am I right?
Or is this the one you mean?
Yes, it works with MS S&T (tested and works) and with Routis/iGuidance (also tested and works, iGuidance is what I use).. it's just a standard NMEA receiver.
So I guess all I need is a reason not to buy it. Is there anything at all I'm going to realize once I get it and regret? Anything at all this thing doesn't do that some other one might? No downsides?

I know for a fact that it doesn't have an external antenna connector, but you can always add that if you wish. However, it is a strong receiver, so I doubt you'll need to. Check around, some people have said great things about it. I'm just glad it works well and I have 0 issues with it.
Wow, that's something I didn't come across in my research. Why would I need an external antenna? I guess if you haven't had any problems with just the receiver itself picking up a satellite, it wouldn't matter much. Where do you have yours mounted?

Rear deck (hat shelf), works fine.
My BU353 sits on my dash presently. When I get down to the final install, it will be inside the dash under the plastic, sitting on the center console air vents. There's only one layer of plastic above the GPS, so I shouldn't have any problems getting a lock, nor any visible GPS for a thief to try to steal.
It would work with something in the way like that?

All GPS devices or antennas are enclosed in plastic... another layer won't hurt it.
Nice, I'll pick up the Holux, thanks. Continue to post though if anyone knows why I shouldn't.
