Toshiba E355/Mapopolis?

unsavory · Posted: Sun Sep 14, 2003 8:04 am Post subject: Toshiba E355/Mapopolis?

I just ordered the "GPS Kit For Toshiba - North America". It is a Mapopolis Mouse GPS Bundle. Only thing is that is says it works with the Toshiba e330/335, e740/750 Pocket PCs. I have the newer E355 with Pocket 2003 O/S installed. Anyone know if it will work or not?

Both Pocket PC's have USB ports with no serial ports, so unless it is a software issue I don't think it will be a problem right?

Also, they say the Mouse GPS Bundle has a 6 foot cord and is good for the automobile. Again, anyone have any experience with these? How is the reception?

Thanks for any information you can provide!
