Saw this at a local JC Penny store. The box said that it had some way of interfacing with a PC but I can't find the info on the site.

Certainly interesting if you could connect it to an Ipaq (if it supports a standard GPS to PC protocol)

Wow that's pretty sweet! You are right, perfect for warwalkers.

hmmm no mention of protocol using?

I would get this this only if it had NMEA output, a serial interface and it was around 50 bux including tax and shipping.

Update rate 1 second (Continuous Mode), sounds like it could be proprietary which means it may not be NMEA and not supported by NS/MS

Measurement accuracy Average 30m (Continuous Mode) sounds like it is not WAAS enabled, that is also a large variance.

GARMIN GPS 12 parallel channel receivers are accurate to within 15 meters on average. Using WAAS accuracy is less than three meters on average.
