Chris , It looks promising , the only thing now is the actual data to/from the GPS ?
Let's say the GPS is using Bluetooth and your PC is setup for Bluetooth on RS232 Port 1 RunRev can now see that data on RS232 Port 1 , you will have to check what sort of Data the GPS transmit and/or receives ????? Are they simple commands etc ????
