I have a Globalsat BU-353S4 GPS ‘puck' for the laptop, having changed about 3 years ago from the BU-353 which would not work with Windows10.
I now find that the BU-353S4 in its turn does not seem now to function properly with Windows10 and my Seatrack/ID10 Imray-based electronic charts from Meridian Chartware. Curiously, the chart package seems to pick up the GPS signal initially, but does not update it, and the relevant com port does not come up on the ID10 Comms setup, and only a couple of the NMEA sentences can be seen.
(An old GPS test program does work with the BU-353S4, and shows the NMEA sentences scrolling through as normal – and when that is running, the BU-353S4 is unavailable to the ID10 package as I would expect.)
The technical gentleman at Meridian is not available at present, but they tell me that the Norcom Navistick they sell should be fine with W10 and ID10. I do not doubt that, but I see that it is a SIRF III GPS receiver which is in those terms one step back from the BU-353S4, I believe - and moreover, it like the BU-353S4 is also a USB2.0 not a USB3.0 device.
So before I try the Navistick I thought I would ask here if anybody can help with the BU-353S4. I think it may be an issue that it has no specific W10 driver but I'm not sure of that and it's all very confusing (to me, at any rate).
