Getting raw data [NEMA Sentences] from a GPS reciever

I'm not sure what forum to post this in, but I felt Highly Technical would be most appopriate for this.

Anyway, I'm writing software that will get raw NEMA sentences (just ASCII text data) from a GPS reciever and upload that data to a webserver.

But the problem I'm facing is how to actually get data from a GPS reciever. The one I will be using [for now] is a compact flash gps reciver that can connect to a PDA or laptop. The model name is Holux GM-270 CF GPS reciever.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
 
hmm well I figured out how to get data from a GPS unit with a serial port but not sure how to do it if the unit is connected by USB or a compact flash card.

Does anyone know how to connect to a USB device in VB or C#? Are there any classes that help with that?
