Default Converting GPS info

Originally, some of the manufacturers
put a speed limit on their units which I assume was to prevent their use in
an aircraft...

I believe that non-feature post dates the Garmin-12. I tried the G-12
briefly on an airline flight about 10 years ago. It worked as long as I
held it up to a south facing window. As I recall our speed at that
point was well over 300 kts. The G-12 is great for use in a balloon to
find how fast the wind is moving us along.

Does anyone have a version of MapPoint (or MapQuest, etc) that can
accept lat-long directly from a GPS? It doesn't have to be realtime but
I would like to save up waypoints and plot them later on.
