Happy Holidays to All > Ed T > I use a Garmin eTrex GPS receiver and two applications, one called GPSy and Delorme's Street Atlas on my Pismo and it works fine. My only complaint is that I have to use Classic mode. Delorme refuses to make an OS X version of their software. I just heard about one called Route 66 2004 that will be out in January; I intend to get it and the OS X update of GPSy and try them next year. The GPSy web site has info on cables, adapters and other things you may need you can check it out here:http://www.gpsy.com Last year a group of us rented a house in the Poconos for the NASCAR Pocono 500. Although one of the group had been there the year before, I asked for the address and used my Pismo to track our route. As it turned out, we got seperated from the other 3 cars in the caravan but since I had the address and the GPS; we got to the house 45 minutes ahead of anyone else. Now my buddies don't give me quite as bad a time about my geekiness. Joe Ellis -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
