For the record, I have never had a problem with USB GPS. I just like to try as many options as I can. These devices are not expensive compared to marine built for purpose devices from the major manufacturers.
For the Qstarz I have paid about 80 Euros 2 years ago. This device has the benefit to be able to connect to 5 different computers (laptop, smartphone, tablet etc.) at the same time to feed them all with GPS data.

Secondhand Garmin BT units here about USD 15 apiece. Look into geeks s/h gear shops in your area.

I see these BT units for less the $100 US. That’s not expensive in my view. Everyone has a different threshold for “expensive”. But I agree with @carcode, he who pays the least usually ends up spending more
than she who pays the fairest price.
