Hi there, many of you are into GPS, so I need your input here please.
I would like to know some prices of a good GPS system, and wich one you
prefair. Also, how about the possibility to download/upload betwin
PC-GPS maps and waypoints, is it possible? How? Is a normal serial
connection enough, or do you need a special system?

I run into all those questions while trying to find out more about a
system used by a mobile telephon company here in Greece, called "Panafon
protect", it is a tracking system that uses a GPS+GSM phone to do it,
but it is extreemely expencive, and while searching for more info about
it on the net, i saw that there are many similar systems for a lot less
monney, but not in Greece. 

Any1 nows more about it please reply, we might even be able to find, or
even make one cheap enough for motorcycles.
