So the Magellan units are Newton Compatible?
The RadioShack online store has a $50 rebate on the $199 Magellan
SporTrak Map GPS Cat # 20-1610
It says accurate within +/- 3 meters, which is all I need.
Personally, I want the GPS unit to give my Newton the co-ords of where
I am, then then when the newton has an internet connection (much of the
time) it'll send updates to my webpage, where you can see a Harry
Potter-esque like map that shows where I am.
Novelty, yes... but cool.
