Very cool indeed...

Is your USB GPS two seperate peices not including the modified adapter? I have one from Microsoft Streets & Trips laying around here somewhere that has a postage stamp sized GPS reciever that plugs into a seperate USB-serial interface.

Now I'm wondering if this smaller serial interface with the modified adapter can be used for connecting other serial devices with the Tablet.
