With this USB GPS Receiver that features a Magnetic Base you can instantly transform your laptop or netbook into a GPS navigation device. 

Turning your laptop notebook or netbook into a portable GPS receiver, this low powered device works directly from your computer's USB port without the need for addition leads or external power. By simply plugging this GPS receiver into your computer and installing the accompanying software you can pinpoint your location and are all set up to go. Due to the magnetic base that this antenna has you can position it in the best location to get a full view of the skies and in doing so receive the best reception so it can perform just as well if not better than most handheld or car GPS systems. 

Incorporating a SiRF IV GPS chipset with built-in patch antenna you get an acutely accurate GPS system that's able to perform well even with low signal levels. Data output contains latitude, longitude, altitude and velocity, which can be used to plot your path on Google maps or even Google earth. Tracking multiple satellites at a time and having a 0.1 second reacquisition time as well as a fast startup it can easily give you a true live feed of your précised movements. The Altitude limit is 18000 meters and velocity limit exceeds 500 meters per second which is faster than the speed of sound which is fairly impressive for such as compact device. 

So whether you’re driving across the country, traveling around the world or just going to the local store this USB GPS receiver is a serious contender for the best and most convenient portable GPS unit.
