LCD/Nema display

[dbp]

With the cost of instrument maxis (mast displays) so high, has anyone out
there come up with a simple solution? It seems like it would be fairly easy
to have a program to read and direct the NEMA sentence to a commonly
available LCD display. Use a plam pilot or similar to run a selection of
what to display and to direct the info to a display. Any ideas?

Commonly available cheap LCD panels can't be seen in sunlight.

The NMEA-0183 data format is described in my NMEA FAQ (on my GPS/NMEA
site below), and I have some links to companies that make NMEA
displays.
