Thanks to the NMEA protocol compatibility,
the iGPS 180 would work pretty fine with a MessagePad
but it will need some adapters to be phisically connected to the Newton
mini-din port.
some examples:

Still, do you think it would be feasible to get this unit working with
a Newton, since it supports NMEA? I was hoping so because this site
http://homepage.mac.com/matthewboulanger/NewtonandGPS.html noted that
"Most GPS units will transmit their data in NMEA format, probably the
most common format for GPS data at the commercial level. Fortunately,
most GPS software available for the Newton will understand NMEA
formatted data."
