Hi there,
yes it is a standard rs232 port. You can view the cable layout here:

And yes, you can use a GPS with the SimPAD. Some guys also have sucessfully used a navigation software on it.
There is a german forum for the simpad at:

You can also have a look on my homepage about the simpad at: simpad.silentservices.de . It's in german, so you can try to use a translator or ask me if you have a specific question...
Also have a look at opensimpad.org . They've made a good linux port for the simpad.
cheers
