I have had this unit for several years and like it alot. I have taken it to florida or wherever we go. It takes a few minutes to program but finds accurately where you want to go. I like how you can update the maps at Garmin for free. Only downside is you can now find cheaper models that have touch screen programming.

Foolish me. I originally tried to order a Deluo 31-311-01 USB GPS for Laptop directly from the company. For some reason, it was back ordered. But the company never told me — I only found out because after waiting for some time for an email with a tracking number, I finally went back to their site, and there they were, those dreaded words, “Back Ordered.” And of course, no one at that company had a clue as to when it might ship. So I turned to trusty Amazon, and had it in my hand a couple of days later.
The Deluo 31-311-01 USB GPS for Laptop itself works great once you figure a couple of things out. First, the software is a little funky. If you plug the unit into the computer before booting, the touch pad goes nuts, and you lose all control over the computer. It becomes necessary to do a hard reboot just to regain control over the computer. So make sure to plug the GPS into the computer AFTER the computer is finished booting and after you launch Streets or whatever program you use.
The unit sometimes takes a few minutes to find the sats, but more often than not, it connects very quickly. And it’s very accurate. Even zoomed in as tight as Streets will go, it puts me on the proper side of an intersection.
If you are in an urban canyon surrounded by tall buildings, it sometimes has a little trouble getting an exact position, but this may be due to the sat’s signal bouncing off the buildings.
All in all, a good unit. But buy it from Amazon, and save yourself some grief.
