Folks,
Although it's relatively simple, I've added details about how I use a
Garmin GPX 18x LVC puck directly with the serial port on a PC, and take
the power from a spare USB port. I built a pulse-per-second (PPS)
indicator into the serial port connector so that operation can be
confirmed at a glance. Please see:

Although it's on my FreeBSD page, I'm actually using this successfully
with Windows PCs, running under Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows-7.
Performance:

Hope it helps someone - perhaps a winter project?
Cheers,
David
