[Xastir] USB gps Receiver reccomended

[Mike Miller]

Take a look at the website.

They have drivers for Mac and Linux. I have a BU-353 and I got 
it to work with the You Are Here app on a cheap Android tablet. 
There is a pretty good chance it will work for you. I haven't 
tried it with Xastir, which I have on Mint Maya and didn't find 
too user friendly, but I'm a total linux noob. Maybe I'll try it 
if I get time this weekend. The BU-353 got pretty good reviews 
with UI-View32 for Windows. It uses a Prolific USB chip.

My other GPS puck is an old Garmin GPS-18 PC with a 9 pin serial 
plug and a cigarette lighter plug for power.
