I was hoping to run moving map/navigation software on my laptop on trips,
etc. I'm already planning on installing an RF modulator so that I can use the laptop, and my PDA, to play MP3. So, I was thinking, as long as I'll have the laptop in the car, it'd be great to be able to run moving map/navigation software too -- especially, since I already have an external GPS antenna.
Of course, the question is how difficult would it be to get the NMEA data out of the OnStar components for other use. Ideally, I'd like to be able to set up the laptop as an additional 'listener' to the GPS data stream, and still allow the OnStar access to it (at least for the first free year of service.)
Thanks for any tips/advice.
John
