Lunch? Am free tomorrow.
schmoe wrote:kamome, do you use the EZ Navi service much? How much does it cost? I have been considering that since GPS reception may be pretty bad in Tokyo but I wasn't sure about map fees, data fees, etc. Also not sure about navigating with such a small screen =)

With apologies to AK...I'M FREE FOR LUNCH TOO!
The AnyCom Blue GPS Receiver GP-600 supports the NMEA-0183 standard and the connection to the Bluetooth device is serial using the SPP Serial Port Profile

That software that accepts Garmin maps looks like it has potential, although it seems most of the fancy stuff like waypoints uses the Garmin protocol so you have to have a Garmin GPS receiver. I'll be curious to hear how it works out for you.
The forum post seems a bit confused, but apparently the GPS memory stick doesn't output NMEA data, which every decent GPS unit should since it is the standard protocol that mapping software expects. Your GPS should work anywhere in the world that is covered by the satellites, which definitely includes Japan. However there are some accuracy enhancers like WAAS that may not be available in Japan...
There is a great GPS forum too, http://www.gpspassion.com. Registration seems to be broken but I intend to ask the same question there.

I bought a digital elevation model of all Japan at the 50m resolution, really nifty.
