Product Description
Key features:
Excellent GPS performance without the need to use an USB Extension Cable
Majority of the USB GPS dongles in the market require an USB extension cable to be used to extend the GPS antenna away from the laptop or a GPS position fix might not be obtained or takes forever to obtain a position fix. This is due to the fact that notebook / laptop produces electrical interference that weakens the GPS signal in the nearby vicinity.

This nifty little product works as described with fast location finding and 65 channels instead of 54, but the software/driver is tricky. It installs as a Prolific USB to Serial port and is sometimes recognized by Windows as a serial mouse or a serial ballpoint. Windows does not recognize it as a GPS device at all. It includes the latest GPS driver from Prolific Tech., but that doesn’t make any difference. I have been playing with it off and on for a couple of weeks and cannot get the included software to work with it at all. Microsoft Streets and Trips works with it, so I know it is working, but the included software does not work. Therefore the data logger feature is useless. Tech support is non-existant. Canmore’s website has a little information but it is all on the enclosed CD as well. I have emailed the only contact for support, but so far have not received a reply. I am going to stick this unit in the desk drawer and by a Garmin unit instead. Don’t waste your money!
