Great News. I finally got my GPS compact flash card
working in my Newton using 'GPS Map lite' software.

The GPS card I'm using is a i-Tax-GPSCF by a Japanese
company called TAXAN.

It's basically the cheapest card I could find $165USD
(bought from T-Zone in Shibuya, Tokyo).

Seems to work quite well. I even made a map (quite
large) of central Tokyo so that I could test it (It's
a lttle more acurate than the world Map supplied with
'GPS Map'.

Now...wasn't someone on this list talking about making
a library of maps that work with 'GPS Map' software?

If anyone else isn't keen...I'll be more than willing
to take up the challenge and making a simple web page
to store and download these maps.

What do you think?

Phil
