Default sharing a GPS NMEA feed

I would like to use a GPS antenna that I could send NMEA data to both

Any thoughts on how something like that would be wired up?

I have a Gilsson antenna with a brass plug that fits into my iPAQ 310,
if that same unit would work, I would get another one, cut the plug
off and find the NMEA send wire, of course having the schematic would
help too.

Hmmmm...............let me clarify what I wrote earlier.

Situation: I have a iPAQ 3850 with no GPS, I also have an Ilec SB-8
with the Final Glide unit, this can accept NMEA data from a GPS.

What I want to do is buy one of those GPS "mouse" units, and send the
NMEA information to both of those units.

I mentioned the iPAQ 310 earlier just because I had an external
antenna and that it helped track more sattelites, and perhaps if I got
another Antenna, that I could use it.......or a mouse.

Thanks,
Brad
