	I'm thinking about getting a cheap USB GPS receiver and using it with Route 66 on my PowerBook when on the go. Reading on various forums, and on the Route 66 website, I get mixed information as to whether the devices will need a driver to operate or not. It seems that very few of these will ship with Mac drivers. So either I have to download some miracle-code, or they just work? Anyone got either of these two, and can let me know if they work or not?
