Take a look at http://gpsd.berlios.de/hardware.html
The HI-204e can be had for about $80, the HI-204S for about 100, and the
Earthmate USB with Windows software for about $100. Not sure if the
newer models ("LT-20") will work or not.

Bad - You get pulled over for doing 90 in a school zone and you're drunk
off your ass again at three in the afternoon.
Worse - The cop is drunk too, and he's a mean drunk.
FUCK! - A mean drunk that's actually a swarm of semi-sentient
flesh-eating beetles.

Okay, thanks, this looks like the program I need. Now all I need is a GPS device. From the description of 'GpsDrive' it looks like I should get a Garmin GPS receiver with a serial output. I'm on a tight budget so I guess I just need the minimum which will get me by with this GpsDrive program.
