Wired gps receiver on a xda exec?

[thewww]

hello all
can anybody tell me if it is possible to use a wired rather than a blue-tooth receiver with an o2 xda exec pda/phone, i have been told that it is not possible as the pda does not have a "proper" com port but i saw one for sale on ebay complete with a leadtek wired receiver.
thanks for any help

no its not possible as the leads dont exsist to run a wired reciver and the charge the pda.youll need to use a bt receiver with the exec

thanks for the quick reply, i was hoping that i could use a wired receiver as having bluetooth on in the car gives me a bad headache after a while
thanks anyway

The reason is because it does not have a serial port.

In general all PPC with mini-USB port DO NOT have serial port which is required to connect a GPS via cable.

So it is not possible.
