--> Engines-List message posted by: WRBYARS@aol.com

Greetings to All,
I'm in a bit of a dilemma with my Apollo  360 GPS Moving Map Unit, (round 
unit installed in the panel) which was  installed with the latest data in 1997.

This unit can be upgraded by using a lap top computer with an  "upgrade card" 
in the floppy drive, connected to the GPS with a serial  cable, according to 
the Installation Guide.
Does anyone have a recent "up grade card", and cable to  connect up with that 
they would sell, loan, rent, whatever?

Here is the info that the "Guide" gives on these  items.

PC Interface Kit  (564-0052), which includes a program diskette (31/2"),the 
data cable (500-0263), and a reference  guide. 

Data Cable (500-0263), a 25  pin on the GPS end, to a 9 pin dsub COM port on 
the PC.

Also does anyone know if the GPS unit, when hooked up to a  color lap top, 
will display the same info on the lap top that is  on the "Mother" unit on the

panel, and although the original unit  display is in black & white, would the 
lap top display the info in  color? If it will, then the "co-pilot"/ passenger

could have a larger, in  color, view, to assist the pilot with. 

Sorry this is so long, however I know there is a lot of  Very Knowledgeable 
folks out there on  the list, and I very much need your help.

Thanks
Bill
