I have no experience of the GM 210, but I can at least advice you not to buy the GR-213. Read this thread and you'll get an idea why. It will work fine for you for a couple of weeks; after that the Time To First Fix will increase and eventually make it useless. This will at least happen if you don't get a permanent power supply.
Regards,
Ulf

Lucky you! 
I guess you have it permanently hardwired to your car battery then. That makes the difference.

No, its wired to the ignition, but I may hardwire to the battery so that I have no problems whatsoever. Just need to find a permanent live feed.

Use your Radio-backup cable. Usually the yellow one.
I cant get my 213 to work with TTN5(I've got an x51v with mobile5). You guys got any ideas? GPSViewer, GPSTuner and Winfast Navigator all work fine. |

Thanks. Not sure if that will be the case with my BMW as the radio dosen't work without the ignition on. I'II have a look over christmas break.
As for your GR-213 not working, try configuring it as a tom tom wired device. failing that try configuring it as another nmea device, 4800 baud.
If you have already tried this, then over to the darkside - the WM/PPC guys for help.
I seem to be the only enlightened one using Palm OS!!!!!!

The yellow backup cable is for the radio-memory. Every car has one
As for my GPS device....
I've installed navigon, it works fine. Navigon detected my receiver with automatic detection. I had a fix in no-time. It's TTN5 that's givin' problems...
Can anyone else help me??? PLEASE!!??  |

Never mind, I've got it workin' baby 8)
The solution came from a nother thread. I've read about a program calls GPSGate. Downloaded it, installed it.. and it worked!! After that, I bought it :P
Now I'm very happy!!! |

Nobody has said anything about the GM210. I have used one for over 2 years, and it hasn't put a foot wrong yet. Time to a cold fix seems a little longer than it used to be, but the internal battery which retains the satellite data is possibly getting a little tired now. I have just invested in a GPSlim bluetooth for the improved sensitivity that Sirf 3 brings, but the GM210 is still going strong
