GPSNavX is the ONLY GPS interfacing program I've used that REQUIRES the use of serial cables and hasn't kept up with the modern advantages of USB communication over a huge range of puck and handheld devices.

when is the last time you opened a GPS that had a native serial port?

eh??

just about every marine gps system going has one, in fact I'm struggling to think of one (outside of a few handhelds) that has USB only, so the argument doesn't really stack up to me
furuno, lowrance, koden, humminbird, standard horizon all deliver their gps data via a serial interface. Hand hleds are the only ones that have gone solely USB, and the fault there is often that the gps manufacturers haven't written drivers to run on the mac OS

and seeing as there hasn't been a mac since last century with serial ports, you need a cable

go buy a shiny new PC laptop and PC software... you'll need a USN/serial cable there too as nearly all modern PC's have binned serial ports as well



or am I missing totally the arguement here
