Well I don’t know about all the workings on the garmin.. No the software
is not bundled with the gps3.. Now garmin does have good software but
expensive.. Since I already had street atlas I use it.. Plus only cost
was about 45 bucks.. You can download and upload the
waypoints/tracks/routes to the lib but as far as displaying the screen I
don’t think it will work.. You can actually watch the data stream in
hyperterm connecting to the com you have built for the rs232 port.. 

Best source for GPS info is http://joe.mehaffey.com/ it is the most
complete site I have found. And most of the other sites point to this
one..

So I'm assuming the Garmin GPS III comes with software that allows you
to 
create these "waypoints/routes/tracks" on the Lib, and then upload them
to 
the handheld.... no?

>You can actually use a program

So not only can you upload data as you mentioned... you can download
from 
the Garmin too.  But you can only download these "snap shots" of the 
handheld display... yes?

These's no other kinds of data that can go from the handheld to the Lib,

right?

I wonder if other gps handhelds have the capability of displaying their
maps 
on the Lib.
