Hello all,



I'm thinking of getting a GPS based speed camera detector (Road Angle) and I know that it has a GPS output via a serial port (or similar). I'd very much like to connect it to my Handspring Visor Delux for routefinding information (and use TomTom Routefinder as the software). Do I just need a serial cable for my PDA or do I need a special type of cable? Can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier of the right sort of cable that will most likely work for my needs?



regards



Rhodri Armour

Hey



I have just done exactly as u are asking, but attached to an Ipaq.



The road angel does output gps, and u will need a 'null modem adapter' [got mine from expansys.co.uk for £2.50] which u then need to plug a serial to whatever input your pda is. ie mine has a serial socket one end and an ipaq input socket on the other.



Run tomtom and change setting to NMEA0183 @9600 and your off!!



Only got this far thanks to the guys n gals on this forum pointing me in the right way, so glad to help u out too!



Chris

ps Road Angel is a v. good choice!
