    The Earthmate is USB, costs about $100, and it's the only one I've found this small that's WAAS enabled.

    these

    and use the USB power

    the new earthmate that is USB will work. Mine works with all GPS apps so far. You just select the option to install the drivers to install usb->serial for use with other apps other then street atlas.

    Mine uses COM5 on my desktop and COM3 on my laptop. So it emulates a COM port.

    Co Pilot 2003 only works with Rand Mcnally or Copilot Recievers, nothing more nothing less...

    With the serial converter...i didn't specifically mean that particular one...but you got one...it should work...

    once in awhile it (copilot 2003) would say "there is no GPS attached to your system" but 1 sec later it would start picking it up...

    How about this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3040545515. Seems to be going for less than USD100. I've emailed the seller 3 times without any response so far though.

    I have been talking with the people at co-pilot and they are telling me that the 2003 software works withy most gps recievers and that they now have the software avialible without a reciever. Have anyone experienced other wise?
