A serial or USB solution to using a GPS system on a laptop computer is
not very elegant when opposed to a Compact Flash or PCMCIA solution.
What do others use their PCMCIA slot for anyway? Mine is unused except
for the occasional access to images from a digital camera.

Why don't they make a Compact Flash or PCMCIA GPS system and/or interface software.
They did it with AirPort, why not GPS?

If you would, check it out and if you feel the need, sign it. It is definitely a worthy cause.
Thanks for the help!!!
