It arrived from Canada to UK in 5days, comes with a neat app that enables you to check the sats and set up the baud rates and refresh rate (1 to 5 updates per second) 5Hz update requires 38400 baud reception by the plotter which the Belfield can cope with.

Its not waterproof but works well inside and with both Navmonpc & directly or via Navmonpc with Belfield Chartplotter and Polarview. Its smaller than a matchbox and could be fitted in an Ip67 plastic box for use outdoors.

Excellent value at £28.49 delivered and the faster update should give smoother plotting.

The drivers and app are available from http://cbgps.com
