Hi,
Can anyone help me out with where I can find a lead that is a GPS RECEIVER & will charge the XDA at the same time that just plugs in the bottom of the XDA!? I have managed to find one for the IPAQ but no joy for the XDA!

This is the sort of thing I mean, see: Haicom: GPS receiver for iPAQ 38xx/39xx/54xx series
Thanks.
www.tomtom.com
I have one... it is excellent
I wondered if anyone has any advice on which gps system works best? i heard that tom tom 2 software is good??
any advice. thanks
Yes, as a mapping software TomTom RoutePlanner and CityMaps are very good and also good value for money. As a GPS receiver, I use a Garmin III connected to the XDA with a serial cable fitted with a null modem adapter. Any GPS receiver transmitting NMEA 182v2 at 4800 over a serial connection will work with the XDA serial cable and a null modem (crossover between pin 2 & 3 on the DB9).

Navman gps-1000
I saw a gps at www.navman.com to use everywhere, in the car , walking in the mountains etc...
This device is for a lot of pocket pc.
Any1 knows if this device also works with the XDA, I know the tomtom navigator 2 kit does work with the XDA but this kit can only be used in a car and is in walking mode not small.
Thanks
I am trying to get a garmin ETREX working with the XDA but thought the serial cable works and i am be able to connect to the serial port of the computer and do a sync that way the comm ports do not seem to be able to see the data output of the GPS which is present by checking it with a comm program.
any suggestions ???
I am using the VITO map software and VITO navigator.
also curious of the pharps GPS specifically for PPCE Phone
any one heard anything about this
???
I have just been able to get the etrex work fine with a palm. can't connect it to my xda yet as i don't have a serial cable.
two things to watch for...
there should be an odd number of cross-overs in the connecting cable. my palm cable has rx/tx crossed and so does the etrex cable so i had to use a third crossed cable to make three crosses between the palm and the gps (will solder a proper lead later).
on the etrex set it to MNEA
I don't know which one is good, but I can definitely tell you that the Pharos product is total crap.
Anybody wanna buy one cheap?
gps for xda
I have tried the tomtom gps mouse which is an integrated gps/antenna with tomtom 2 and it works beautifully, very fast to first lock and very accurate. Also available is the Haicom 203 unit, this is supplied with the power lead as well, the bonus for both these units is that you can exchange the data/power cables for those that will fit laptops and other pda's, so you can have 1 unit and cables for several devices. The cables for these 2 units are unfortunately not interchangable as the tomtom is made by Leadtek. The Haicom can be bought as a complete kit requiring only xda and memory card for £79.99 inc vat. from GPS warehouse in UK. I got delivery in 48 hours.
gps xda
the haicom also requires software, the tomtom gps comes with tomtom2 or you can buy it as part of the destinator kit, anybody needing this software to "test", let me know.

I need to find the power adapter that converts the standard circular connection that most accessories have to the flat connection that fits the SX 66. One came with my SX 66 but it's broken and I need one for my GPS kit.
Any ideas on where I can get this? I have a Pharos BT GPS kit and need the adapter so that I can power the phone and charge the GPS at the same time.
Thanks!

It's the 22 pin DC adapter that comes with the phone.
Any ideas?

I am trying to get tomtom 6 to find my gps receiver? in the configue menu of tomtom only com 9, com 0, com 3, serial port, infared port and i think com 6 are listed, i have tried all of them but all i get is no gps device. i was expecting to find com 1? have turned off ir beaming. does anybody have any info or help.
My O2 XDA Mini s is in a car cradle and the gps receiver is connected to the cradle by RJ11 connecter. The phone charges and the gps receiver is powered up.
i am having the same prob
please help..

Think it could be car cradle, assumed with it having RJ11 it would be linked to mini usb(com1). It seems they are there to power bluetooth receivers. My mistake. Hope this helps others.
For my MDA I, when I use it with TomTom Navigator 5 in my car I have it sitting in an adapter, to which the GPS serial mouse is connected and the adapter routes the connection to the adapter socket into the Wallaby.
Now I'm thinking of putting the mouse circuitry closer to the Wallaby, ideally
building it into the housing would be the optimal solution but that would probably doomed to failure for space reasons, possibly also due to lack of battery capacity.
Has anyone tried this?
Are there any cable adapters to connect the mouse to the Wallaby?
