Thanks for these links! I have a Rand McNally GPS antenna very similar
to the one shone in those pictures. I've been wondering for quite a
while now if there was a way to use it with my Newts. From looking at
the pics there, it looks like all I need is the correct cable to adapt
from the PC-style serial plug to the Mac serial. The only issue is that
instead of a lighter socket plug, mine has a PS2 plug for power, but
I'm sure I could work around that. I wouldn't be using it on a bicycle,
but in a car. Has anybody used the Rand McNally unit with the Newt?
Using the Newt would have to be handier than with a laptop!
