Subject: Re: [aprssig] Tap into in-dash GPS Navigation for APRS?
I appreciate all of the responses, but I am referring to an in-dash
navigation system, not OnStar. I am hoping to not only get a GPS fix into
the D-700, but also plot waypoints on the map like you can do with a
standalone Garmin GPS unit that has a moving map.
I'm going to try to dig up some schematics from Alpine and see where that
takes me.

Sounds like a job for you, Scott! ;@)
There's several small-footprint SBCs out there, many that have a CF memory
slot, and a couple of PCMCIA slots, along with the standard KVM, USB and
AC97 ports. Many of the Free-WiFi Net crowd uses units like this to build
their nodes.

I replied because I assumed (and you know what that means) my Alpine
in-dash nav system uses the OnStar GPS for its location info. Maybe it's
the other way around.
