It plugs in on USB. Somewhere I read it had to be ublox compatible, but having looked in the manual, it says: ------------------------- GPS (Global Positioning System) allows you to ‘stamp’ each data trace with your physical position in latitude/longitude/elevation format. This can be useful when making measurements on cell towers or other antennas at remote locations. NOTE This feature is usable ONLY with the GPS receiver that is shipped with Microsoft “Streets and Trips” and “AutoRoute”. The GPS receiver is NOT available from Agilent. Only the GPS USB receiver is used with the FieldFox. Therefore, it is NOT necessary to purchase the very latest version of the map software. ------------------------- So it seems I need to purchase Microsoft "Streets and Trips" with the optional GPS device, which is only $70 in total. http://www.microsoft.com/streets/en-us/default.aspx Does anyone know how good/bad that device is? I'd be using it in the UK 99% of the time.
