you probably already have the serial cable that goes with the gps, second step would be to pickup something like this http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=CHEAP-SERIAL&cats=199&catid=482%2C1303%2C199%2C461%2C106%2C1009%2C601 most every converter ive seen is linux compatible, they usually say something about it in their description, id check to be sure before ordering. where you go from there is up to you, theres a few gps programs out there, gpsdrive and roadnav are 2 that ive used before. steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
