oooh.. those things aren't cheap. Well, it came with a serial cable so I'm 1/2 way there. I suppose I could pick up a serial adapter for the iPAQ and just use a null modem.

The cheapest I've found for an iPAQ to eTrex is about 35 bucks on eBay. Not too bad a price compared to pfranc.

And as far as 1 sample for every 2 sec, other than stumbling, what else is GPS for?

thanks for the info...
