You may be interested to know that this is in fact a rebadged Leadtek 9537
GPS Receiver, see
http://www.ict-international.com/various01/svarious01.h.... Leadtek are
well respected, their units are good and we have had one of these on test
for a while now and like it.

ACE, you will love your GPS unit!



I have a hand held one (Magellan Meridian Platinum) which I use heaps and I
plan to connect it to a PPC when ever I get around to buying one :-P



Also, if you enjoy the outdoors and want to have some fun with your GPS/PPC
then give Geocaching a go.

Thanks for the tips  
I won't be buying a GPS module anytime soon, i'm more into
researching the differences right now.. I can't afford to
spend $300 on anything geeky till my life settles down more.
(don't ask, pff) so for now it's look but don't touch!
needless to say i'm saving my change for it though
