Adding GPS device on Mac
I've been trying to add BU353S4 to my MAC. The driver is installed. The MAC sees the device. But there is no data flow on the "Show NMEA Debug Window".
The device is flashing.
I also tested on Google Pro. But it did not get GPS info either.
Any ideas?

There is a manual, see there:

Sorry for confusing with all these links. The official manual is catastrophic.

Thanks everyone.
It was a driver issue. It was solved by downloading the driver from the Prolific site. Not the Globalsat site. Working!
