Hi,

I have a USB GPS that I use with MS Streets & Trips 2005 on my laptop and it
works exceptionally well.

Now I want to connect the USB GPS device to my iMate Pocket PC mobile device
running Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition so that I can use it with Pocket
Streets 2005.

How do I go about doing it?

I would prefer not to invest in a new bluetooth enabled GPS.

Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi,

Pharos is the only GPS manufacturer that has this capability. This is the
GPS-360 that is part of the S&T 2005 GPS. You can order adapters for use
with PocketPCs from Pharos (www.pharos.com). I use the Compact Flash
adapter, but they also have one that works with the internal serial port on
some Pocket PCs. Note, not all PocketPCs have internal serial port -- I
don't know about your device.

Other USB GPS devices will not work with a PPC (to date).
