GPS antenna / puck recomendations

[Casper]

The exact same set up that I am using - works fine

Sweet, good to hear. I ordered the puck, and will download the software.

Question, is the software as easy to use/setup as it looks or are there "hidden" things I should know about?

Thanks again for the help guys.

Cheers,
Josh

Ok probably a bit late now, but would it not be worth getting a Bluetooth adaptor for your netbook and then using a Garmin GPS10?

or, they do a USB version (20x) https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=32632

I have used it on my PDA and now on the Tablet PC, works very well and sync's with Garmin Software.

I had strongly considered that. I was just afraid it would still lose signal. I have read a ton of reviews on both, and they were ok, but nowhere as good as the BU-353. I figured for the money, this was a better setup. Time will tell I guess.

I just picked up a old Garmin GPS 35 from SoCal_80 on here. I'm going to try and use it with Garmin's software.

I've been using my Garmin Rhino for years. It works great for hiking but I really need a bigger screen for road use.

So, I ordered and received my BU-353 antenna, downloaded the GPSGate software and installed it. Plugged in the antenna and wow, everything worked great. From inside the middle of my house even, it found 9 Satellites, 4 of which were dam near full strength. Still have to test it outside on the truck, but I would think that if it worked so well in the house, a tree lined trail will be no problem.

Thanks for all the help everyone, and Craig I owe you a drink (beer, wine, scotch, pepsi or root beer. Whatever you fancy) at the least. Thanks for pointing a novice in the right direction.

Excellent! Glad to hear you got it all wired up and working. Just in time to get out and use it. :safari-rig:
