George, you can get a compact flash GPS antenna with PCMICA card adapter. If you search ebay for "CF GPS" you will find auctions that offer a package deal with those two items and sometimes they even throw in an external antenna, which if you use a laptop, you will almost certainly need because GPS works on line of sight (ie. the antenna must be able to "see" the satelite"). The whole package deal will cost about $120. I have all these parts and will show them to you at the meet.

Thanks Rex! I am definitely interested in something like that.

Victor, With the laptop I can even put it in the passenger footwell since it will be on a 15" screen.

Fwiw, I have had bad experience w/ Pharos GPS stuff. Couldn't get signal even at rural area like Fishkill, NY (Fall Colors '02).

Damn!!! This stuff isn't easy to make sure it all works together and such. Geez!!!

I had to go out to Pharos's site and see what hand helds work together.

I have also heard bad stuff about Pharos.

I think it would be great if you techie guys could do a little presentation at the car wash meet about the different GPS units.

Thanks Ben. Where'd you find it? I went back a couple of pages and couldn't locate it.

PsychoBen

It was the first thread in the second page when I looked for it. You must've just missed it.

Weather is so nice today I'm wishing I scheduled this meet for today. Oh well. At least I am driving my S outside again.
