Works as expected. When plugged in, it shows up as a serial port. It sends NMEA data at 1-second intervals at 4800/8N1. It is based on the PL-2303 USB/serial port.
I plugged it into my Ubuntu Linux box and it was instantly recognized and started sending data to the computer. I had to do nothing to install any drivers, since they are included with the Linux kernel.

I purchased this to use in my car with a laptop. Installation was smooth. I was unable to pick up a satellite signal from inside my home, or from a window sill with large unobstructed views of the sky.
In my car I discovered that the receiver works well when on the roof (it has a built-in magnetic base), however it loses the signal when on the dash by the windshield inside the car. Microsoft Streets & Trips 2008 works fine, with the one minor annoyance of having to press a function key (F3)to re-route should you need to change your route while traveling.
A more sensitive receiver and more flexible re-routing would enhance this otherwise nice product.
Deluo makes great products. And for this price you can’t ask for more.
The product is well built. It works 100% as described in the product description.
The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because of minor delay in locking all the satellites and lacking WAAS and SIRF features.
Foolish me. I originally tried to order a Deluo 31-311-01 USB GPS for Laptop directly from the company. For some reason, it was back ordered. But the company never told me — I only found out because after waiting for some time for an email with a tracking number, I finally went back to their site, and there they were, those dreaded words, “Back Ordered.” And of course, no one at that company had a clue as to when it might ship. So I turned to trusty Amazon, and had it in my hand a couple of days later.
The Deluo 31-311-01 USB GPS for Laptop itself works great once you figure a couple of things out. First, the software is a little funky. If you plug the unit into the computer before booting, the touch pad goes nuts, and you lose all control over the computer. It becomes necessary to do a hard reboot just to regain control over the computer. So make sure to plug the GPS into the computer AFTER the computer is finished booting and after you launch Streets or whatever program you use.
The unit sometimes takes a few minutes to find the sats, but more often than not, it connects very quickly. And it’s very accurate. Even zoomed in as tight as Streets will go, it puts me on the proper side of an intersection.
If you are in an urban canyon surrounded by tall buildings, it sometimes has a little trouble getting an exact position, but this may be due to the sat’s signal bouncing off the buildings.
All in all, a good unit. But buy it from Amazon, and save yourself some grief.
