Another good resource is the web page
http://joe.mehaffey.com/
which has reviews of GPS hardware and software as well as information about
the NMEA protocol.
Documentation of the Rockwell binary protocol is at
http://www.acte.no/technical/gps/jupiter.htm
although that page seems to be down now (hopefully temporarily).
You can also download NMEA and Rockwell compatible software for the
PalmPilot at my site, http://www.optimalvector.com
