I contact GlobalSat support and I does appear to have been resolved by using windows to search for and download the driver. I first installed the drivers from the CD and also tried the latest downloaded from GlobalSat, but each time had problems with windows not recognising the device when plugging into the USB port. Despite this being advertised as Windows 7 compatible, I had a lot of problems getting this working on windows 7 64-bit.Works really well, it would be better if cable was longer.Just plug in my PC and install the driver.Excellent bit of kit - very easy to install and use.Picks up many more satellites than my TomTom car GPS. System locates satellites when switched on and updates are instantaneous. Using it with nRoute and GPSGate for marine navigation on a laptop and it works very well. Mind you it has already seen some pretty big storms this winter up there, and is still working great!!!! I hope it is waterproof as I have it mounted on the pilot house roof. By the time I have opened the plotter programme it is already inputting the GPS data. Was concerned whether it would work with Windows 8.1 as it wasn't mentioned on the box but happy to report it does and works well.An easy to use and reliable device with a quick response time.
