Thanks for that Gizmo, I was about to order one thinking it was a neat amplifier.
Don't worry I nearly made the same mistake until I took a closer look at the ones they had in Halfords. |

Thanks for the new "how to" guide. Much clearer.
A quick questionf or you electronics types out there - will these 'boosters' do the same as the amplifier, and are they safe to use with the TomTom? ... |

Even if you do have the driver it is still not going to work because your PDA cannot supply enough power to power the GPS. Even if it can, it will deplete the PDA power in less than an hour making ... |

If they sold you the cable, they should supply you with the driver.
As far as I know there is no WM5 driver for pl2303 chips.
The manufacturer serial cable is NOT yet released. I don't have one. ... |

Its a CN3, not a CN30 and it really doesn't have a serial port. It uses a manufacturer cable, with an in-built converter... when they are released.

I would be very interested to see how that is going to work!
I have seen it before but I can't see how you would connect it, or what it does. Does it replace the TomTom TMC Receiver, or do you sti ... |

The PDA is a commercial ruggesdised device, not a consumer PDA. The USB cable does not contain any electronics as it is all in the PDA, but the ... |
