what's a good (or the best) USB GPS?

Right now I have a compact flash GPS made to work in a PC card slot in a laptop. I need a USB GPS, this way I won't have any problems.

I don't know where to begin searching for a good one, there are so many on the market right now, and I know a lot of them are going to be fairly cheap (quality).

So recomend me a good GPS. something very reliable. if you suggest something, tell me why, or if you have any personal experience with it.

Thanks for any recomendations!!

I found the GlobalSat BU-303 USB GPS. This one seems pretty good, a very reasonable price ...

Anyone have any comments or suggestions?

If you have a costco near you, they have a USB gps receiver for 86 bucks. The think that I like about this one is that it is magnetic and waterproof, so the thing is sitting on the trunk of my car and gets a perfect signal even in the pouring rain

I just purchased a Rikaline 6010 which I have read a lot of good reviews from on Ebay. It was <$50 including shipping.

The BU-303 is a very common and practical choice. Many happy users on here, including myself.
