These blue GPS units should work with the TomTom GPS on Serial or with the NMEA 4200 GPS Drivers in TomTom on your PDA. I have had no problems with mine using the TomTom GPS driver on Serial on my Dell Axim... However the first one I bought I returned because it was faulty, Although I spent an awfully long time trying to get it working. It just simply wasn't getting a signal lock
I recommend leaving the unit with a clear view of the sky for up to 15-30 mins in the first instance, after that it should be OK...
One thing I should mention, my replacement GPS unit worked better when I upgraded the TomTom GPS drivers to version 3.0. I got the downloads from this VERY VERY useful site.
I recommend getting a copy of CruxView to test the GPS unit to see if it is actually receiving a signal and if it can get a lock... I also got CruxView from this site...
The guy on EBay is usually quite helpful, i.e. he pointed me in the right direction to try out the first unit I got... But it was faulty in the end...
All I can say is it is probably touch and go... Good Luck!
