having never messed with GPS before, i'd like to pick up a decent but inexpensive USB GPS receiver this weekend for linux experimentation, but i have yet to find a place that sells same -- my regular go-to of canada computers claims to have none. i can see where i can order one online: http://www.canadagps.com/MouseGPSMain.html and what little i know of GPS suggests i'd want something like the GlobalSat BU-353 -- something that talks NMEA: http://www.usglobalsat.com/p-688-bu-353-s4.aspx#images/product/large/688.jpg but i'm open to suggestions, especially where something can be purchased in town. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
