Any hints on how to do the connection?? I don't see anything on the
Magellan that I recognize as a port.

Regarding the map... I assume what's needed is a map that's not really got
a whole lot of info on it, as all the colors are just going to be clutter
when one gets to greyscale and then to b/w. I haven't dealt w/ b/w graphics
since I put away my MacPlus years ago. So, any hints there would also be
good. (I've got Canvas and GraphicConverter available.)

Thanks for the info.

- Eric.
