I have 2 Garmin GPS USB 18.

I am very happy with the accuracy, and the maps are very good that come with the gps. I hate how the gps and the maps are locked so they only work together. Maybe if these companies would spend a little less worrying about pirates, they could make the product cheaper. For a little over a hundred bucks for the unit with maps, the price cannot be beat.

tymt:

It is the model number for the GlobalSat series of GPS recievers. You can check out more about the product by going here --http://www.globalsat.com.tw/eng/prod...l_00000044.htm

My question for owners of the system: What map software are you using with the GlobalSat BU-353?

Eightnine - I'd recomend taking a stroll through the GPS forum its self. You'll find that people use whatever software they want with any reciever they want. They are all compatable with one another.

1/2off. My for-poll answer - tyco dead reconing gps chipset, inside their `development kit`. It works better in tunnels, underground parkings, between high building. Each stopping I'm surprised with no-drifting gps-cursor in the software. There is something to compare. My old BU-353 died this december. That was 3rd russian winter of its onroof lifetime. Unfortunately it knows everything, 3cm of pure ice, 15cm of heavy snow, each winter there were -30°C and less, carwashing, dirth etc.
