Green Belt I'm not a GPS guy, but from a quick search of the <a
href="news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.mappoint">Microsoft
MapPoint newsgroup</a>:
"Any good Garmin will do the trick for you." - Vic Fraenckel
"... For MapPoint and GPSes - the requirements are: connection via a
serial interface, at NMEA levels (NMEA is also a hardware spec), support
for the NMEA 2.0 protocol." - Gilles Kohl
"The [Delorme] Earthmate outputs a proprietary "Rockwell binary
protocol" instead of NMEA. [Walt: This is not good. Although Vic
Fraenckel mentions http://www.byonics.com/tinytrak/ where you can get a
converter for NMEA compatibility.]" - Gilles Kohl
