[Cu-wireless] GPS?

[David Young]

I have a Garmin GPS receiver that I will lend, with manual, to any
regular meeting attendee. I prefer to make a personal transaction than
to put it into "circulation."

I have an adapter that will connect the receiver to a PC through a
9-pin serial port. The receiver speaks to computers in "Garmin" and in
an industry-standard language (NEMA?).

My receiver does not use DGPS or WAAS, so I think it is only accurate
to 15 meters.
