Looking for Vista compatible USB GPS Receiver

[Whitedogg]

Can anyone recommend a USB GPS receiver for my laptop which has Vista Ultimate OS? I cannot find any USB GPS receivers that have Vista drivers. I have tried some of the XP drivers for my current BU303A SiRF II, but Vista does not like the drivers. So now I have to look for another receiver. Any help, pointers, guidance would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!!

A GOOGLE search should reveal something. I just did one and got the BU-353 SIRFIII from US GlobalSat. My GARMIN GPS60 has VISTA USB drivers available - so I would expect ALL GARMIN USB GPS units to be 'supported'. Not that I have any VISTA PCs (and won't until it's at least 12 months old and most of the 'features' have been ironed out).

Unfortunately this is one of the joys of moving to a new operating system - it usually means waiting for hardware to be supported (if ever) and upgrading previously working applications. Unfortunately you don't often get the chance to pick an older O/S when buying a new computer.
