I have a new laptop with Vista. This company did not have a driver for Vista yet.

It’s a low cost gps solution. I use it on my small laptop while I’m going on a trip. It works fine, easy to use with map point/Microsoft st&tp.
I saw it on a police patrol car, which it can tell AmbiCom GPS-USB is able to provide the accurate gps position for our police officer to do their job.

I bought this as a replacement for a PC GPS that burnt out after several years of hard use, and this one just does not cut it. It tends to lose lock with the sats very easily, the position it does give is often running 100+ meters off (for those that know what it means, I think the thing is usually pulling a FOM 6 or 8… wide margin of error), and the body is so cheaply made that after a month, the case has split.
Get something else for your GPS needs.

it might for you. I tried using it on Vista, and no go. However, I downloaded a driver from US Global, and that worked, for a while. Vista is just to weird a system for things this out of date. For XP or earlier, it would probably be ok. I finally had to return it to Amazon because I grew tired of always hunting for it.
