Just bought a Bu-353 and it did have a 10 second delay out of the box. I downloaded and used a program called SIRFdemo that can apparently reset the unit to factory settings. I'm not sure what I did, but after monkeying around with SIRFdemo for a while, the delay disappeared, and the unit works wonderfully now.

I also searched through the "delay" threads, and noticed that there didn't seem to be any with a definitive explanation of how to fix units with a delay. I don't think most BU-353 users experience the delay issue though, because it wouldn't be as popular if they did.

I have no complaints now that the delay is gone. The unit has quite a bit to recommend it...relatively inexpensive, waterproof, built-in magnetic mount, SIRF III and WAAS.
