Hi,
not sure how to explain this question, but I have an EM406 GPS with a short cable for interfacing. However, the socket on it is tiny and would require really thin wires to insert into them.
Does anyone know whether there is a socket adapter which will fit this and provide a more pratical interface so that standard wires would be plugged in?

I cut the cable in half and soldered thickers wires to it. I'm sure I've seen a breakout board somewhere recently though.

You might want to check out SparkFun http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10402 This may be exactally what you are looking for. I feel your pain, it's not easy to use those wires in a breadboard.
