Yes, it GPS should be able to work in Barbados. The only places on earth GPS is known to have trouble getting reception are underground, in the middle of downtowns of large cities where large buildings can reflect the signal, and towards the north and south poles. In all cases, the only places GPS does not work is where it does not have line of sight to the sky.

Will a Microsoft GPS receiver for Strits and Trips work well inside a house?

I dont know what 'Strits and Trips' are but I do know what a GPS is. The GPS - Global Positioning System - depends on 'seeing' as many satellites as possible. To get the best coverage you need to have it out in the open with a clear view of the sky. If you intend to use your GPS indoors it is possible to get an external antenna which would plug into the GPS and leave the antenna outdoors again in a place with a clear view of the sky.
