I'll tell that to the Navman folks, who have been quite cooperative in
releasing technical information.

Yep. There's actually a reasonable image at
http://russnelson/navman+802.11b.jpg . I don't know why people have
had such a cow about my inserting a screenshot into the first picture
of the navman sleeve I published. Sheesh!

Well, yes, I want to be able to do war walking with no wires hanging
off my device. Nobody else can do that now (unless you use a dual CF
sleeve, or dual PCMCIA sleeve, with the Pretec CF and any 802.11
PCMCIA or CF card which is thin enough to fit completely underneath
another card).
But I'm also going to make pygps so you can press a button and get a
map for your current location. Presuming of course that you have
*both* a GPS fix and 802.11b coverage. Or a cellular modem if you can
afford the airtime. Or GPRS.
