Well it's unlikely an installation cd would be much use to me the way I want to use it.....
And the USB version has no drivers on cd.

Anyway I've found a sual mini usb/bluetooth GPS receiver that uses the same chipset i wanted, and outputs all the NMEA sentences I would be interested in
Output terminal: Mini-USB (CMOS Level)
‧ NMEA protocol output : V 3.01
‧ Baud rate : 38400 bps
‧ Data bit : 8
‧ Parity : N
‧ Stop bit : 1
‧ Output format :
Standard : GPGGA (1time/1 sec), GPGSA (1 time/5 sec.), GPGSV (1time /5 sec.), GPRMC (1time /1 sec.), GPVTG (1 time/1 sec)
Would this CMOS level interface directly to a pic with no other hardware needed so I could wait for the nmea sentence I wanted and then act upon that sentence?

In case anyone's interested... http://www.holux.com/JCore/en/produc...ec.jsp?pno=227
