I previously purchased a cheap (about $10) GPS receiver from another site, what a mistake. Took 5+ minutes to get a fix, and it would loose the fix going under overpasses on the freeway. Thought I'd actually do some research and find a decent receiver this time. Bought the GlobalSat BU-353, and it's been great! Usually gets a fix from a cold start in less then a minute, and have even had it get a fix while the car's still in the garage! I've only had it loose a fix one time, but it was because I was going through a tunnel, even still, the receiver picked up the fix up on the other side in just a few seconds. The only issue I've ever had with it is that the base is a bit too slippery (since I try to keep it on the dash) and under hard cornering or acceleration, it'll slide down the dashboard. The magnet on the base is really strong though, and if you were putting it on the roof, I don't think it'd have a problem holding on.
Customer Review: Fast locking in on Location, Very nice
This is the fastest lock GPS device I have used, and I have used about a dozen. One thing though-I was having trouble with it crashing my Vista laptop after a couple hours of use. I Solved this by going to Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Device Manager->Under Ports->Select Properties of Prolific USB-to-Serial...->Port Settings->Change Flow Control to Hardware then->Select Advanced->Change both buffers to 1. And that totally solved the blue screen issue I was having. Great product, best available USB GPS.
