Reviews of the Portable GPS Receiver UT-41 and Portable GPS Receiver MS-GM-03 16-Channel USB NMEA-01

Posted by on 10/27 at 10:01 AM Permalink

With portable GPS receivers increasing in popularity for everyday use, we thought it would be useful to give you a couple of reviews of products we have in stock here at Computer Geeks. Designed for use with laptop computers, the UT-41 and MS-GM-03 are both good selections for geeks who want to know where they are at all times. A USB connection, the small size of the unit and more than 6 feet of USB cable make setup and take down of the UT-41 very easy. The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface on the MS-GM-03 allows this receiver to work with almost any computer and the unit is rugged enough for everyday use and accurate enough for most users’ needs.

  1. The article title “Reviews of the Portable GPS Receiver UT-41 and Portable GPS Receiver MS-GM-03 16-Channel USB NMEA-01” by Michael Welsh seemed to leave out the issue of having a broadband connection in a car.  By utilizing Google Earth, you are requiring the user to have a constant internet connection to update the maps.  It seems as though this should be mentioned to avoid confusion.

  2. Ut-41 unit works with roadmap software, but after installing it my usb ports no longer will recognize the mp3 player.

    does anyone know of a fix?

  3. There is no support for the MS-GM-03. The driver install has errors after it is complete with windows XP and no one knows where to get an updated driver. Other complaints have been made on this device inspite of it’s inablility to work with Microsoft streets and trips (the one I use). Do the people who write the reviews actually try the hardware out first?

  4. I am using free GPS software called GPS Communication at http://www.panazzolo.com/
    The GPS information always shows at

    N 23,28.2329
    E 120,56.9328
    0.0 km/h
    0.0

    The location is at Taiwan, It is not at Cupertino, CA USA. Any idea of the error?
    Or do I need to have the UT-41 tested at outdoor?

  5. The MS-GM-03 has a fairly powerful internal magnet that can cause damage to sensitive electronic equipment. To prevent damage or data loss, be careful not to place the unit on tapes, hard drives, or flash media.
