What GPS are you using with the system and how is it connected to the

I was going to use the Apollo Procedure that I already have in the
plane, but it does not have USB & my portable does not have serial. I
ended up using a Holux GM-210 GPS from a friend who brought it for a
project but never finish. They are available for about $60. I could
have buy a USB-serial converter for about $10, but the GPS was free!

I might connect FliteMap to my Trimble Approach 2000 panel mount GPS
later. The advantage of that is FliteMap can pickup flight plan from
Trimble so I do not need to reenter flight plan. But the down side is
when my Trimble failed, FliteMap would stop function as a moving map;
it still display maps & charts but no moving green arrow to show your
location.
