Absolutely. My Magellan MAP330, for example, has a serial interface
which is normally used for uploading maps and downloading tracks, but it
cal also send standard NMEA data to a PC-based mapping system.
The MAP330 has the added advantage of having its own map display, albeit
small and monochrome, but it does make it a handy stand-alone device for
hiking, geocaching, and the like. You should be able to find one on
eBay for under fifty bucks, and the car window mount with
serial/external power cord for under twenty.
