Here's something new:

USB NMEA...yummy!

It'll probably make Mappoint shit itself, though.

If only they made it with BT so I could use it with my iPAQ.....

Actually there is a blue tooth module available for such a setup.

Course, the BT isn't out until June.

I've been using this new GPS unit since it became available on 04/15/2003. It works very well, and can be read by the DeLorme software directly from USB, or from any other NMEA0183 compatible reader software via the provided COM port emulator software. Works well with NS on COM6. The only issue I've noted is that sometimes NS won't read from the unit until starting and closing the Earthmate test program.

I just got this GPS device, and I can't get it to work with NS or anything except for the device's own test program. Can you private message me and maybe help me troubleshoot it? I would greatly appreciate it!

I posted a response to a similar thread in the "Windows" NS forum.
