PDA with GPS used as NMEA source for DSC?

Thanks for the very useful experience review

Alternatively you could run
it in its charger cradle, tho' it wants AC power. (HP may sell a 12VDC
charger, but I dunno)
I was planning on using HP or 3rd party 'carkit' sort of thing.

It's tempting, remembering the chap on another
thread who's using a wireless LAN to interconnect his laptop, GPS,
echosounder, autohelm, wife, etc to think that you could link it to
other devices using its own WLAN radio

I hadn't found that thread - I'll read it now

The cabling provided with it ends in a USB plug, but note that the
socket on the device is not a standard USB port - nor is it a standard
mini-USB port - it is something peculiar, so you will need to use the
cradle if you want to connect any other gadgets to it like that.

This is the bit I'm really unsure about - how to convert that to NMEA.

Also, can you see whether the unit has an option to route the GPS info
to two destinations at once - (a) the map/chart, and (b) the DSC radio
over a serial port?
