Dell was telling me I needed to purchase and install a Broadband card and have it installed in my Laptop to get my GPS working. I wish I would have just purchased this GPS from the start instead of wasting a few hours talking with Del Help.
The GPS in my laptop installed within my laptop is the same manufacturer of the USB UPS I purchased. When I het 35,400 the thing came alive with the GPS in my Laptop which is what I wanted all along, but Now I have the option of an external GPS should I need a remote receiver. I once again went to my mapping software and set the GPS to COM 4 and started selecting BAUD Rates one at a time and testing the GPS at each different setting. I was able to use the GPS even in my living room, worked perfect.Ī couple of days later I was playing around with the device configuration setup on my laptop and I noticed that COM 4 said GPS and my USB GPS was not plugged in. I installed the software and plugged in the USB GPS and went to y program that uses GPS "National Geographic TOPO!" and began playing with the com ports and baud rates as recommended in the instructions. I really purchased this USB GPS receiver as a last resort due to Dell being no help in getting my built in GPS unit working on my Rugged Extreme Laptop.

Compatible with most all NMEA compliant third-party software, the BU-353 is suitable for use in vehicle, marine and aviation navigation, as well as commercial and municipality applications such as fire trucks, police cars, buses, GIS data collection and much more!
The BU-353 GPS Receiver can be utilized in a variety of applications which require GPS signals to be received and decoded in your Windows laptop or tablet PC, and for Mac users, their iBooks or Powerbooks.
