I use a SirfStar III based Globalsat BU 353 and it works perfectly. As with all GPS devices, they appear as a serial port and as this one is USB, it uses the common PL2303 USB-RS232 chipset. They retail for ~£30 too. -- Dee Earley (d...@earlsoft.co.uk) irc: irc://irc.blitzed.org/ web: http://www.earlsoft.co.uk phone: +44 (0)780 8369596 -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
