I would like to rephase my question please. I understand that there are many issues involved with XOs and all of that ----- I am wondering if any one knows whether GPS units/software will be compatible with the newest versions of XO laptops. If so which software, does anyone have experience with this, I would be very interested in hearing about it. Thank you for reading.
