Ok -- thanks!

Now -- is GPSmap compatible with any PC-Card receivers? It just mentions the
serial-port compatibility. Or, is there other decent GPS software for the
Newt that works with a card? I think I'd rather just slide a GPS card in, if
possible, then try to do some serial-based connection...
As for "cheap"... I guess I was hoping to stay under US$100. I've seen the
Garmin GPS 12 unit go for under $100 on EBay on a few occasions. According to
the specs, it supports NEMA183 and serial transfers. Shouldn't something like
that work? Or am I missing something?
Thanks for your help!
