Looking at one, the tech info stated that this is a "receiver only"
not a gps.
I take that to mean that it receives gps information such as time and
location but doesn't do any of the navigational computation requiring
memory storage. By that I'm referring to waypoint storage, way made
good, cross track error, etc.
Is this a reasonable assumption or is there a different meaning to
"receiver only"?

He's gonna plug the GPS data, in NMEA format they all produce into a
COMPUTER and use NAV SOFTWARE to do all the mapping and computing, as it
should be. What he DOESN'T need is a rinky dinky handheld palm pilot GPS
display unit, what with all that laptop/nav software computing power with
REAL memory and REAL storage....(c;

The "receiver only"s is just that, the receiver that generates the
statements for the USB port input to his nav software. Works just great.
