cheap GPS / buy a Microsoft product!

I noticed that the Factory Direct flyer in today's Star offers the 
Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 with GPS Locator for $39.99

This seems like a good price.  The locator will work under Linux.  It is a 
little box + cable that plugs into a USB port.  The software is of course 
useless under Linux.

Linux mapping software could be improved.  So buy one of these and pitch 
in :-)

As usual, phone Factory Direct before making a trip: they often don't 
stock what they advertise.
