- The ND-100 is WAAS/EGNOS capable. With your sat nav software this will give you accurate door to door navigation.
- The GPS requires an open, clear view of the sky. Buildings, covered parking areas, tunnels and dense foliage can cause the GPS receiver to be unable to get a location fix. If you are parked in a covered parking lot or near a tall building, it is recommended that you drive away until you have a clear view of the sky before using the ND-100. You may need to give the GPS a few minutes to find or get a fix at its location.
- The Satellite Navigation software can be used on a Linux system if you uses a Windows API for Linux, see www.winehq.org. You may have to compile a kernel to get this working with Linux which is only advised for advance users.

Excellent GPS USB for Netbook Swiss-Army-Knifery

Pros: Awesome little GPS dongle for a netbook.
-Compatible with MS Streets and Trips (I picked up a copy of 2007 for $10 CAD)
-Works?
-Blue function light!
-Cheap!
 
Cons: -Needs to be 'set' first by basically taking the unit to a field first before it'll start tracking quickly.
-Will often show that in MS S&T that you're driving off the road if your GPS loses track (see below)
-Will often lose track if you take the GPS dongle away from a window in the car and will not work in basements. (The S&T still works, just jerks around a bunch more and won't give as accurate directions)
 
Other Thoughts: Would have been nice to have gotten it in black... Although there's now a SKU for it in black :D
 
Bottomline: Pretty good for a netbook GPS unit. I can't complain for the price I paid overall for the entire thing. Just have to tape it down on the dash or something. I'll also have to add if this dongle does in fact work with the Chinese Apad I also got from DX.

Pros: Small and easy to use. I use it with a eee netbook running Ubuntu as a Marine chart plotter. It find a fix after only a short while, some minutes if turned off for some time. Works well will gpsd driver under Linux.

Cons: Want to be vertical in order to receive signal, hence it need an adapter or a USB extension cable to place it vertically. It is not waterproof so it need to reside indoors.

Other Thoughts: Could be used as a time source when internet is not available.

Bottomline: Well suited as GPS for netbook based Marine Chart Plotter based on the opencpn software.

Very good

Pros: Very good and fulfill the its purpose. Easy to install (windows vista and 7 with no problem). Got the navigator software to work with it without any problem.

Cons: It does not have a gps map program with it. Although one can use Google earth or streets, I found Navigator MUCH much much better then the others. Other then that, no cons.

Other Thoughts: Good buy. You cant go wrong with it! literately! Not sure if the price is right though.

Bottomline: I've been using for a while now in a regular laptop. The small net-books are perfect for it.
