Which GPS USB

A GPS USB based system is now the most common type available, although there are still older type receivers with serial type connections available.
The USB based receiver has many more advantages over the serial based type, such as ease to install, and swap between computers, lower power consumption, and faster updates.

The later generation of GPS with a USB connection look very similar to a USB pen drive and are easily small enough to fit in a pocket, they also have lots of cool extras such as
