5Works with Mac ENC  Jul 23, 2010
The BU 353 is recommended by Mac ENC (marine chart plotter).
I have a few gps receivers which work with various PC software but not the Mac.
Found it on Amazon for $25 less than from the software provider.
A no-brainer. Fast delivery too.

52 thumbs up  Jun 14, 2010
it works wonderfully in places my garmin just could not get a signal even inside our garage that has no windows. It is super fast too, about 3 second after its plugged in it has a lock. The cord could be a little longer but that is just for my application. I drive a tow truck and this thing goes to work about 60 hours a week. I have forgotten to put it in the truck a couple of times at the car wash and it does just fine with the soap and high pressure water. I have had to unplug it and plug it back in a couple of times but I am not sure if it is this device or windows that is the problem so I wont fault the gizmo.

3You better know something about PC's to get it to work!!  Jun 13, 2010
The unit now works, but it was about a two hour effort to get it to work on Windows 7. The drivers are ancient that come with it, and I had to do a lot of digging around on the manafacturers website and try different settings in Win 7 before I finally got it to work. Understanding that... the instructions are vague as well! Here we are in 2010 and the instructions look like something you would get with a toy in a fast-food kids meal!

5Works like a dream  Jun 01, 2010
Works great, Plugged it in, loaded the software onto my laptop, and was working in seconds. I'm replacing the GPS unit that came with Streets&Trips. This unit works so much faster than the Microsoft one ever did. It locks on satellites in 1-2 seconds as oppose to 30 seconds to 10 minutes with my other one.

5Great quality  May 19, 2010
Found this at a great price on Amazon and shipping was quick. This item is of great quality and if you have done any research you will find it is well respected and recommended.
