<VV> GPS for Corvair?

[Kent Sullivan]

The different ways to "skin this cat" have expanded rapidly in the last
couple of years. The PC (laptop)-based solution, with an external GPS
gadget, are nice because you can choose your own software from a number of
vendors. And updating is pretty easy--just a website visit to the software
vendor or perhaps a CD through the mail.

All the rage with some folks I work with are the GPS "sleds" that attach to
a SmartPhone or PDA. The folks who have them love that the resulting unit is
not much bigger than a dedicated GPS receiver yet takes advantage of a
device they already have. Also allows more flexibility for software and can
link to a PC for map creation, storage, etc.

Have used a PC based GPS (Delorme) for years and has found me when lost
several times. Must admit I use the maps more than the GPS itself. Since I
usually have a laptop with me this is reasonable. USB powered uone is much
nicer than my original larger serial port and batteries unit.
