using GPS devices in linux?

[Lonni J Friedman]

Anyone here using GPS devices in Linux?  I'm considering purchasing
either a handheld, or vehcile (car) mounted GPS for future travels.
However, everything that i'm reading about the majority of them
suggests that they are basically useless unless you can upload
maps/routes/etc using their proprietary, Windows-only software.

Has anyone had any experience using a GPS device without Windows?
