Mine has the GPS inside the box so it did not take up a USB port. I bought mine 2 years ago and have had no trouble with it in that time. Strangely the documentation that came with it mentioned the dongal but I could not find in the packing. I rang the dealer and he said they were now internal which it is. Funny how they have reverted and now the documentation is backward again. Mine works fine on 64bit win 7 but have not tried to hook it up to win8 yet, must try. One other thing, I have never managed to get the GPS working with any other software except the one bundled with the unit. I have tried the Celstron software (nexremote/GPS), MaximDL, The Sky X and Alignmaster which sees the GPS but cant read it. Spent ages mucking with baud rates and ports with no luck. Not sure how others have faired with this but would sure like to find a cure.
