Discontinued. Check out the BU-353 for more great features>> The BU-303 USB GPS Receiver has improved accuracy by utilizing WAAS-enabled GPS positioning when connected to your laptop's USB port. Travel positions are updated in real-time on your laptop or tablet PC with use of your own street mapping software. BU-303 includes a driver to convert the USB port into a virtual COM port so it can work with these and most any other NMEA compliant mapping software on the market today. . CoPilot Live | Laptop 8 . iGuidance Navigation Software . Memory Map Mapping Software . OziExplorer Mapping Software . Fugawi? Mapping Software . Precision Mapping Traveler? 5.0 . Rand McNally StreetFinder? . Microsoft Streets & Trips? (2002 and above) . DeLorme Street Atlas? (8.0 and above)
For example, use the BU-303 to feed GPS output into Moving Map Software such as OziExplorer to display your location on digital topographic maps (such as those supplied by Spectrum Digital Imaging) or marine cartography (Digital Ocean products) your own scanned maps, or even on aerial photos or NASA Satellite Images! (OziExplorer Development Version required.) BU-303 is totally NMEA-compliant and has the powerful SiRF II low-power chipset imbedded into its internal design. This requires up to 75% less power to operate than comparable technologies with quick cold-start times of only 45 seconds while enhanced technology also provides improved tracking in weak signal areas. The BU-303 USB GPS receiver is designed to plug into most any laptop PC's USB port without the need of an additional source for power! Forget dealing with extra batteries, keyboard pass-through cables or 12VDC cigarette lighter adapters, because power and data are both transmitted through a single cable connected to the USB port! The 60' cable with a suction cup clip and the water-resistant housing with a built-in magnet allows flexibility for in-vehicle or external placement. Features: .
