i just bought this gps, and tested him on my ipaq 3650 with destinator 3 and works fine.
however when connect it to my t-mobile (wallaby) i got that no gps device found- tried both destinator 3 and 6 version - same result.
i disabled thr IR port, and the light on the digitraveler turn on - but still unrecognized
Just to ensure:
You use different cables for connecting the GPS Receiver to your Ipaq and your wallaby, or?
Stefan
my mistake
altough it's the same connector for wallaby & ipaq 38xx
the internal connection isn't the same --> therfore i'll need to modify my cable
thanx anyway
So i hope all iw orking on your device. Often the is an hardware issue after using the wrong connector....
Stefan
yep
modify the ipaq cable and GPS work

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.

Hi,
I have a wired GPS solution named Kirrio which has been working fine with my old XDA II.
Ive just recently bought an MDA III (XDA IIs) and was expecting it to be an easy swap.
However it seems that although the connector in the bottom of the PDA looks the same between the two, it has changed.
When I connect the wired GPS cable (which also includes power for the PDA) nothing happens.. the power led doesnt light yellow as is custom on the PDA when its charging, and the GPS doesnt work.
Ive noticed that the MDAIII connector seems to have a small spring thingy in the front of it which match with a slot carved out in the plugs. This is different to the XDA II... but Im not sure if the spring thingy is a small switch or something... and if the wiring is totally different between the two.
Kirrio cant help me.
Anyone have some ideas?
I am using my original Destinator (Leadtek) wired GPS that I got for the XDA, used it on XDAII with no problems and have been using it since last October with no problems on my MDAIII (XDAIIs)
check this

Reset key, cradle and cable connector is placed on the low part of the device. The connector is differed from the old device, it means that old cables and cradles can not be used with the new smartphone.
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..
Regards
Gugi
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.
I have a Leadtek 9531 GPS Mouse which I wired into my car for my previous PDA (An Orange SPV M2000 branded Blue Angel).
I've now upgraded to an Orange SPV M3100 branded Hermes.
I want to keep my GPS Mouse, but I can't find a replacement cable set anywhere. (All the USB - RJ11 Cables I can find are Charging only)
Leadtek's website is no help !
The exisiting cable is a cigarette lighter to PDA cable, with a y split for an RJ11 socket for the GPS Mouse (I'm after a cigarette lighter to USB\RJ11 female)
Does anyone know where I can get one of these cables from ?
cheers
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe since Hermes has no USB host chip one cannot connect any USB devices to it? Hermes´ USB port is for audio, sync and charging only, right?
Hi,
I am upgrading from an iPaq hx4700 to a tytn, and am wondering if it is possible to get RS-232 serial data out of the mini usb cable. I have installed a serial GPS reciever into my car and it would be nice just to use a single cable to plug into the bottom of the tytn as I do with my iPaq.
With Regards,
Mark
Unfortunately the TyTn has no external Com port as the Hx4700 has.
The mini usb section only supports usb and nothing else.
Except for the extra audio connections but that has nothing to do with the usb connection itself.
Cheers,
