RE: GPS Interface Software

The Delorme tripmate (don't know if its available outside the US),
is an awesome little box for around $120.00 US.  12 channels,
DB9 serial port.  It sends NMEA after sending a startup string ASTRAL.
Besides you get a very nice roadmap (US) set with it.

More details on the commands are at

The sailing guys have been doing open moving map stuff for quite some time.
Very good resolution raster scanned US aviation sectional maps are available 
from
http://www.rmstek.com/    ($$$).

I haven't seen an xwindows based moving map application, but I'd bet one 
exists.

Regards to all,
