- The ND-100 is WAAS/EGNOS capable. With your sat nav software this will give you accurate door to door navigation.
- The GPS requires an open, clear view of the sky. Buildings, covered parking areas, tunnels and dense foliage can cause the GPS receiver to be unable to get a location fix. If you are parked in a covered parking lot or near a tall building, it is recommended that you drive away until you have a clear view of the sky before using the ND-100. You may need to give the GPS a few minutes to find or get a fix at its location.
- The Satellite Navigation software can be used on a Linux system if you uses a Windows API for Linux, see www.winehq.org. You may have to compile a kernel to get this working with Linux which is only advised for advance users.

Pros:Small and easy to use. I use it with a eee netbook running Ubuntu as a Marine chart plotter. It find a fix after only a short while, some minutes if turned off for some time. Works well will gpsd driver under Linux.
Cons:Want to be vertical in order to receive signal, hence it need an adapter or a USB extension cable to place it vertically. It is not waterproof so it need to reside indoors.
Other Thoughts:Could be used as a time source when internet is not available.
Bottomline:Well suited as GPS for netbook based Marine Chart Plotter based on the opencpn software.

Very good
