Hello,

I am looking to purchase my first GPS. I have an Eee PC running Ubuntu. My understanding is that the GlobalSat BU-353 is highly recommended (http://www.usglobalsat.com/p-62-bu-353-w.aspx).

Is this assumption correct?

Also, does anyone know a reputable store in London, UK, where I can just buy it. Amazon.co.uk no longer stocks it and anyhow I would prefer to have it ASAP!

Thanks!

It's a solid GPS - quite accurate, has fast signal acquisition times, very sensitive, and is dead reliable. You certainly won't regret it if you get it.

I use it and I'm happy with it.

I also purchased one recently, based on advice I found in various threads in this forum ;) Like it so far, even mounted dash-top under the windscreen.

Thanks for everyone's work on Wigle & WarDriving in general ;)

After reading a fair amount online, I went with the BU-353, too. After issuing one command to put the unit into NMEA mode, and adding "-b" to my gpsd script to run in read-only mode (-b), I haven't had a single issue. 100% satisfied with the BU-353. So much so I ordered a second one just to have a "spare" in case it would get damaged.
