It can't do this without extra hardware.

hello,
i want to buy a gps receiver, but don't know which one is compatible with my XDA? Can you also tell me if there is a serial from a different make i.e. ipaq that would fit in the XDA?
Do they all work well with Tomtom II?
thanks for your help.
Ipaq gps will not work as it is wired differently, any nmea compliant gps will work with xda, I found the Haicom hi-203e to be a good unit and leads for charging xda and powering gps are available for just about any pda you can mention. Tomtom will work with any nmea compliant gps unit. www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk
I have been looking through the forum to determine the best combination of receiver + software as a gps solution. Is there a poll outlining the relative merits / demerits for the xda2s?
From reading threads, i feel alot of people use TT5 with a BT338 receiver. Would this be a reasonable solution?
Kind regards
I have BT-338. It work just fine with my tek 9090.
I use the BT-338 with CoPilot Live 5 and it works great on my SX66.
CoPilot Live 6 is too buggy, IMO.
I have not tried Tom Tom 5. But I could not install iGuidance 2.1.2 (I gave up after 3 attempts), TeleType World Navigator has huge breadth but not much depth in its features, and OnCourse Navigator 5 has user interface design problems, poor rerouting (it gets stuck on one path), and it requires manually starting the bluetooth connection each time.
Note: These recommendations might only apply in the USA.
tt5 & bt 77
Hi, my xda2s worked fine with TT5 and a BT77 bluetooth GPS, although the device configuration arrangement was a bit strange. However, that was on wm2003. I can't get any GSM functionality on wm2005 so can't comment on satnav and gps combinations with wm2005.
You will need to check with Tom Tom what support there is currently for Ireland. On the release of TTN5 there was limited support for the North & NO support for Eire. The latest downloadable maps suggest "major roads" of Eire are now supported but these maps are an additional purchase over & above TTN5.
I think i am the only BA user here with one, but i like my SD-501 (SDIO) GPS. its a great little unit, and gets great reception (not to mention better battery life compared to constant BT use!).
Still deciding on software though..
I was wondering if my Qtek 9100 (IPL: 2.17; SPL: 2.17; GSM 02.07.10; OS 2.17.7.2) is compatible with the US GlobalSat BT359 GPS unit. If anyone reccomends anything better or has comments whether this device sucks or the specs are crappy, etc, please comment! I know nothing about GPSs.
Specs here The best price i can find is from Semsons for 120. Im looking for compatibiliy with iGuidance 3.0 software. Thanks.
I use the GlobalSat BT338 with my 9100; the 359 should work just as well.
I'm using a BT-359 and iGuidance 3 with an 8125 Wizard (WM5). No problems. Works great.
Perfect!!! Thanks, that was exactly what i was wanting!
what do you recommend as the best GPS (driving and maybe walking too) software for the Tytn? and receiver?
UK based
I use tomtom with no problems tried afew other software like co pilot, igo, but tomtom deffentley has the upper hand.
I use a Fortuna Slim Bluetooth GPS receiver (SiRF Star III) and again had no problems pairing the devive.
