PCMCIA GPS cards and mapping software?
For those times when I'm not flying AA and can use a GPS in flight I'd love to have a PCMCIA GPS card and mapping software that would show me where I am and the route we've travelled. Does/has anyone used such a thing and does anyone have any recommendations?

There is an SDIO GPS receiver:

Chuck, sadly your PPC doesn't support SDIO so this won't work in it, only thing you could do is get a serial cable for your PDA and use any PDA with a serial port...

Chuck, if you have a Garmin GPS receiver then this is the cable you'll need:
