GPS unit

[Cstok]

Anyone use this unit? I had too many problems last year trying to run the Delorme SA 2009 with the LT 40 gps / serial immulator and GRLVL3. So I am going to try this GPS with SA 2010 / serial immulator and GRLVL3

That's a very popular model that works well for people. Don't run the Serial Emulator with it though as that's only for the Delorme pucks. You'll want to get Franson GPSGate.

That puck plus GPS gate is the ultimate win.

I have been arguing with myself for several weeks now on which to use. Anyone else had many problems with the LT40?

I did not do all my homework and bought the Street Atlas and the LT-40 for this year. Come to find out the emulator will NOT work with Windows 7 64bit that I have. I ended up getting the puck you linked to above and use GPSGate. So far it has worked great. Most people I have talked to say that once that switched away from Delorme the happier their life got.

I would definitely recommend the GlobalSat with GPSGate.

Don't bother with the LT-40. Everyone seems to have trouble with it.

I had issues with the Delorme and serial emulator so I bought the BU-353 and FransonGate.

My first 353 had an issue and stopped working when it got warm - could not leave it on the dash in the sun. I had to mount it where air was always blowing over it and out of the sun.
I picked up another and it works great.
