About The BU-353 USB GPS Receiver The BU-353 GPS Receiver can be utilized in a variety of applications which require GPS signals to be received and decoded in your Windows laptop or tablet PC, and for Mac users, their iBooks or Powerbooks. Compatible with most all NMEA compliant third-party software, the BU-353 is suitable for use in vehicle, marine and aviation navigation, as well as commercial and municipality applications such as fire trucks, police cars, buses, GIS data collection and much more! The BU-353's slim profile housing is completely water resistant and incorporates an active patch antenna for the highest level of GPS accuracy.

With a 60' cable, placement of the GPS receiver anywhere within the vehicle will usually get sufficient GPS signal reception, but in those rare occurrences when towering high-rises offer challenging satellite reception, simply place the BU-353 on the vehicle's roof (attaches with its built-in magnet) for improved reception. Since power and data are transferred through the same USB cable from the BU-353, there's no need for batteries or any other external power source. BU-353W Package Contents: • BU-353RB USB GPS Receiver • (1) Suction Cup • CD-ROM (User Manual & GPS Info Test Utility) All USB GPS products sold by USGlobalSat Inc., and it's resellers are WAAS/ EGNOS enabled.

The driver is not for Windows 7. It should be very old, because I can see that it is for Windows 98 and Windows ME.

I used this exact driver package for Win 7 x64 Ent and it worked perfectly. I got my end of life PL-2303 HXA USB serial converter to work on Windows8 64bit by doing the following. Visit the prolific site and get the following driver: PL2303_Prolific_Vista_332102 (Yes, this is a Vista installer which will install on Win7 but not Win8) Go figure!

Install PL2303_Prolific_Vista_332102 on a Windows7 machine. Once installed go to the C: Windows System32 Drivers folder and copy the file called ser2pl64.sys it should be 90KB if you use the 155KB file it will not work. Do not use the 155KB file. Copy the 90KB file to a USB drive On the windows8 computer install the windows 8 driver PL2303_Prolific_Driverstaller_v_1_7_0 it's on use guest guest for user and password.

Run that installer then copy the 90KB ser2pl64.sys file into the Windows8 C: Windows System32 Drivers you will overwrite any other that is there.

Great solution. Problem is I don't have a Win 7 or Vista install to grab the ser2pl64.sys file. Would it be possible to attach it here? Perhaps zip and email me the file?

Place it on a hosting service for downloading? Thank you very much! I got my end of life PL-2303 HXA USB serial converter to work on Windows8 64bit by doing the following.

However it will only let the device work if you turn driver signing off. Hello, Thank you for posting the above solution. I would love to resolve the issue I am having with my USB-to-Serial adapter which is exactly like the one described above (driver not working on Win 8 / 64-bit machine). I do not see the PL2003_Prolific_Vista_332102 driver on on Prolific's web site: Is that where you downloaded the 90KB Driver from?

Have they removed it since November 12 I wonder? I did find the.zip and.exe on other web sites but was not able to generate said driver. Hi, I had a problem using prolific PL2303 for win 7 driver installer. My device com was correctly installed (checked from device manager); but I couldn't transfer data using usb/serial connection on Win 7 64bit systems. I have located a lead that works with Windows 8. This is a windows issue and not an MSV2 issue, but will of course effect owners who purchase a new computer with Win 8. The lead has an FTDI chipset and I have connected it and reinstalled Vehicle explorer and it works.

This is the link to where I purchased it. And search for 48 ( this is their product number).

I tried pasting the full link in here and although it shows on the input screen it doesn't come out on the 'preview post' for some reason. This is their AUM-100 lead. USB to RS232 with FTDI Chipset currently priced at £10.45 and delivered very quickly.' Hope this info helps someone out there! Just to document that I also got my GPS antennas (Pharos and GlobalSat BU-353) both working with Windows 8 32-bit using the same process. The only difference is that I used the file named 'ser2pl.sys' instead of 'ser2pl64.sys'. Also, I placed the 'ser2pl.sys' file into all of the following Windows 8 folders (found by doing a file search after the driver ver 1-7-0 install): C: Windows LastGood.Tmp system32 DRIVERS C: Windows System32 Drivers C: Windows System32 DriverStore FileRepository ser2pl.inf_x86_2d105b2c9e5e9abe C: Windows System32 DriverStore FileRepository ser2pl.inf_x86_5b1362ae5587f85d Worked perfectly - THANK YOU for this post!

No need to copy files to the drivers directory, etc. I got my PL-2303 USB-to-Serial-Converter running on a 32-bit machine with Windows 8 as follows. My Windows 8 installation is in German, so I have to translate.

• Go to the device manager and plug in your USB-to-Serial cable. The device icon should pop up in 'COM & LPT' with a yellow mark that indicates that the device is not correctly installed. • Double click to open its properties. • Go to the 'Driver' tab and hit the button to update your driver. • I see two options 'Automatically look for new drivers' and 'Look for drivers on your computer'. Choose to look on your computer. • Now you may specify a path to look for drivers.

Leave it blank and choose to select a driver from a list of drivers on your computer. • On my computer it shows four different 'Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port' drivers. Choose version 3.2.0.0. The driver version 3.2.0.0 [] works fine on my Windows 8 32-bit installation, while the newer versions of the driver (3.3.5.122 and 3.4.36.247) do not. Hopefully, this helps someone out there.

We put together an installer package that works around this problem by: - Removing any configured serial ports using a Prolific Driver - Removing the current Prolific Driver - Reinstalling the latest Prolific Driver - Overwriting either ser2pl.sys (32 bit) or ser2pl64.sys (64 bit) with a version of the same file from an older prolific driver - Resetting the registry entry for serial device enumeration such that the next inserted device becomes COM3. You can download it here: We've tested it on Windows 7, 64 bit, but it should work for anything XP and above.

Would appreciate any feedback on whether it worked for you (please include OS and whether 32 or 64 bit). Vegan Fanatic pointed you. CharliePel provided the user name and password to access support guest guest There, Prolific specifically addresses the issue and provides Windows 8 drivers, provided that you don't have a bootleg version of the product or the end of life version. Prolific also recommends newer compatible products that will just plug and load.

Finally, as with all usb products, install the drivers first and then connect the device if Windows does not identify and install drivers after just plugging it in. Please read all that Prolific provides.

End of story. I've tried plclean.exe on Windows 8 Pro 64 bit with the PL-2303 HXA and unfortunately it did not work. I might also mention that it was a USB 3.0 port. Jeddam, End of Life version, it will not work. Please visit Prolific for a solution. I have the PL-2303 HXD chip too but I am having problems with it.

I have posted a question at stackoverflow regarding PL-2303 HXD and USB 3.0 and I have sent a support question to Prolific. I don't know what else to do. That is why I am trying to get the HXA working on Windows 8. The machine I have with Windows 8 only have USB 3.0 ports.

(Dell Vostro 3560). Hi, Here is driver taken from win 7. Should work for both Win 8 X86/X64. Don't forget to remove all not working drivers using device manager and check delete driver.

It Works for me too in win8_x64, thank man you rule! Solidworks 2012 Student Serial Killers. ! Yes, also for me. I think that the most difficult for most of the people is how to avoid windows 8(.1) to take the newer driver again. It's very difficult to get rid of it. I did it like this: Open up Device Manager and right click the faulty Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port driver, with the warning in yellow.

Then 'Update Driver software.' , 'Browse my computer for driver software', 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer', 'Have Disk.' , browse to the folder Prolific_Win8_x64_x86 with the older 3.3.2.102 drivers and double click on the ser2pl.inf file.

This worked for me. Use these steps with the post I marked as 'Proposed Answer' with the Sendspace link. These two combined worked well for me.

You just have to update everytime you re-insert the USB to Serial adapter. Just keep the directory with the Profilic_Win8_x64_x86.zip unzipped on your local drive and use the steps above every time you need to use it.

A little hassle but it's working so I'll stick to that method. Thank you for the details as this is also part of the answer. Couldn't get Windows to find the Vista installer and this didn't work for me on Windows x64.

This worked for me. The best answer so far.

It also worked for me. I think this is the simplest way that should make it work. I've tried this both in my Windows 7 and currently in my Windows 8.1. Download the driver version 3.3.11.152 in ( although this is an old driver version, this works in most versions of Windows OS even the latest Windows 8.1 in my case ) 2. Go to device manager, under Ports ( COM & LPT ) right click Prolific USB-to-Serial (COMx) then select Update driver software. Browse for driver software on computer 4.

Let me pick from a list of devices on my computer 5. Select Have Disk 6. On the bottom, Select Browse and then select location where you saved the driver for 3.3.11.152, you should be able to find ser2pl. Open, then OK, then Next, then VOILA! It should be working now. Scan hardware changes to verify. Hopefully that solves it!

The prolific driver version 3.3.2.102 works in Windows 10 with older Prolific cables (with real or fake chips). The latest version from the Microsoft driver repository does not because Prolific has deprecated the older chips because the Chinese were creating fake copies. It has nothing to do with Windows. The trouble is the web driver update from Microsoft's repository will update the driver by default unless you turn off the driver updating which of course then affects all other drivers that you do want to keep up-to-date. So, instead you can use group policy editor to lock down the prolific driver by itself and leave automatic driver update enabled.

So although group policy editor only exists in Pro editions of Windows, it is just a front-end to the registry. The prolific driver version 3.3.2.102 works in Windows 10 with older Prolific cables (with real or fake chips).
