[MLB-WIRELESS] Cheap GPS

[Peter Rogers]

Hi,
sorry i didnt mean to give the wrong idea. i like the price of the sydney
one even with the better antenna.

its just steven was wondering how to hook it to a pc and the kit at commlinx
has all that ready done.

it costs a bit more ( $220 without an antenna) but the hard work is allready
done. you just need to solder it together.

I am still considering which way to go.

Regards

Peter
