Interpret a schematic for me.

Would someone mind taking a look at this schematic for me? It looks like the Vc, GRND, and Vin pins are all grounded. Is that a common ground to my car's chassis?
I'm going to use this to power my USB hub.

Yes, they are all grounded, but through several componenets, so it isn't really going straight to ground.

As for the inducter, I have those. Whats your address, and I will send one out to you.

no - only the ground is grounded in the schematic. If you mean connected to ground AFTER the associated circuitry from each pin then yes, ground is ground is ground, it can all terminate at the same point and be connected to the chassis.

Edit: beat me to it Michael, I spent too long reading the pdf
