Thanks for your reply, looks like I'll be getting myself a Holux then! Once
they become available that is, it's only just been launched... As for the
interface, as long as I can get the pinouts I'll be able to solder myself a
new cable without too much trouble. It's for an MP2k with internal serial
adapter so I'll be putting a MiniDIN-8 male on instead of the PS/2.

I would say...yes, no problem from what I see. I have a Polstar PGM-111
and it also supports NMEA 2.2 protocol. It works perfectly with my
MP120 2.0 and GPS Map.
The only other questions that should be asked is what type Newton? And,
after that, what type of interface? This unit is similar to those we've
been working with (DJ, Adriano, and I) this past few months. It offers
a PS/2 style (female) connector with optional adpaters.
You'll have to research the different adapters available or simply
contact Adriano and point him to the pin-outs PDF. He'll be able to
make you a custom NewtNav. Here are some links:
