The BU-353S4 is a waterproof USB magnet mount GPS receiver that features a highly sensitive, low power consumption chipset in a ultra compact form factor compatible with Microsoft Windows 8. The BU-353S4 is powered by a SiRF Star IV GPS chipset, and will provide you with superior performance in urban canyons, and in dense foliage. With the SiRF CGEE (Client Generated Extended Ephemeris) technology, has the capability of predicting satellite positions for up to 3 days in advance, and will deliver a CGEE-start time of less than 15 seconds under most conditions without any network assistance. The BU-353S4's MicroPower mode allows the receiver to stay in a hot start-like condition almost continuously while consuming very little power.

Compatible with virtually any NMEA0183 compliant land or marine mapping software.

Combined with OpenCPN turns almost any laptop into a powerful marine chartplotter. I use this combination on my own boat.

Live in Tauranga?, i can offer a service where i will install the GPS unit, install OpenCPN software and charts and give you a tutorial on customising and using it.
