During the winter I purchased a Dell laptop. I have a Garmin GPSMAP 230 on the
boat and supposedly you can interface the two with the correct adaptors. Has
anyone interfaced their GPS and laptop and if so what were the results?

Thanks.

I've also done this for years (wrote a few programs to decode the NMEA...), but
I've always found my old laptop was virtualy impossible to read in sunlight. Are
new ones better?
