Take a look at the website. <http://usglobalsat.com/s-122-bu-353-support.aspx> They have drivers for Mac and Linux. I have a BU-353 and I got it to work with the You Are Here app on a cheap Android tablet. There is a pretty good chance it will work for you. I haven't tried it with Xastir, which I have on Mint Maya and didn't find too user friendly, but I'm a total linux noob. Maybe I'll try it if I get time this weekend. The BU-353 got pretty good reviews with UI-View32 for Windows. It uses a Prolific USB chip.
My other GPS puck is an old Garmin GPS-18 PC with a 9 pin serial plug and a cigarette lighter plug for power. 73 Mike kc9doa On 9 May 2015 at 7:09, Skyler F wrote: > Well, what USB gps do most people on this group use?
