Hi All,
Is a GPS dongle the same as
broadband wireless dongle or is
it something else?

I use a SirfStar III based Globalsat BU 353 and it works perfectly.
As with all GPS devices, they appear as a serial port and as this one is
USB, it uses the common PL2303 USB-RS232 chipset.
They retail for ~£30 too.
