i'm planning to buy this from bgmicro so i can get gps on my empeg. unfortunately, i have very little electronic engineering experience (i can solder if i need to), and i took a look at the rs232 interface schematic and said forget doing this right now.

so i've resolved to either 1) take a crash course in EE at barnes and noble or 2) ask someone else to make the interface for me. if someone wants to offer, let me know.
