GR-213-USB: Holux USB Mouse GPS Receiver GR-213 for PC Review

I recently purchased the Holux GR-213 GPS mouse device for use with my mobile weather platform, and it works very well, with the notable exception of the installation. I run Windows Vista Home Premium x64 edition, and the installation only supports 32-bit systems. Slightly disappointed, I needed to run around the internet and install another serial driver to even interface with the device. I ended up using the "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port" driver, and now the device works perfectly and is fairly precise. It is very compact, and has a long USB cable for placement wherever you need it, and, as advertised, is waterproof. It has a very good lockup time, ranging from a few seconds to around 10 seconds. It provides programmers with plenty of information, including your GPS position, sattelite positions, altitude, speed information, and much more. All in all, this is a very good device, and I do advise any consumer to purchase it.
