Hi,
	You should also get the USB gender changer plug (http://gumstix.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=187&osCsid=b15211045cb4e894d237b62413419060 
) , so that you can connect the USB GPS unit to the Overo.

This is because the end of a mini-B to standard-A cable is female. All  
other USB devices will also be female, so you'll need the female A to  
female A USB adapter to connect another device to  the overo.

Best regards,

Elvis Dowson
