GPS and Portability?

curious george asks: "I've always loved knowing exactly where I am in the world and it's becoming easier with the mainstream application of GPS receivers and other integrated technologies available on the consumer and prosumer market. However, finding those awesome accessories that seamlessly integrate with the laptop, mobile phone, or PDA are incredibly difficult. Does Slashdot know of any gadgets that can add the GPS capabilities found in most new vehicles to the mobile geek? Infrared, Bluetooth, USB, and other methods are abound, but what about compatibility between the Mac, Windows, Linux, and Symbian operating systems?"

what do you mean by incredibly difficult? There is so much information out there you must have not even done a single search. It took me about two weeks to get from knowing nothing about GPS, to getting all my equipment set up including posting from halfway around the world. That included dealing with companies in a different language to get maps for the country that I am residing in. Stop wasting our time
