I'm looking to hook up my 520 to a portable GPS with serial output. With the greyscale screen I think it would make an excellent road warrior accessory. Is there any mapping software out there that can handle gps input run under sys 7.5? Tahnks! -Kevin -- PowerBooks is sponsored by

Sorry for the stupid question. Just the silver card part that goes into the slot? And I am assuming the dongle is the black cord that comes out of it and hooks into the network? Let me know if you don't find a buyer. I'm interested. I already have one Farallon card; it would be nice if both Macs
