I understand that there are many issues involved with XOs and all of that ----- I am wondering if any one knows whether GPS units/software will be compatible with the newest versions of XO laptops. If so which software, does anyone have experience with this, I would be very interested in hearing about it. <br>Thank you for reading.</font><br><br><div class="MsoPlainText"><span><span></span></span><font size="3"><span><span style="font-family: times new roman;"></span></span></font><span><span><font size="3"><span style="font-family: times new roman;"></span></font></span></span></div><font size="3"><span style="font-family: times new roman;">Jeff Mascornick, MA<br>Research Assistant</span><br style="font-family: times new roman;"><span
