How does the IPAQ hook up to that Magellan 310? A friend

has the teletype GPS

software I can "try out" on my IPAQ

If you have the serial cable or cradle with serial cable it

should plug right in.

You probably have to switch the send/receive pairs.  I believe that the
IPAQ acts as DCE (data carrier equipment) and not DTE (Data terminal
Equipment) since it plugs directly into the PC serial port without a
converter.  I wired up my Garmin GPS 90 directly to my PC and it worked
but didn't work with the IPAQ.  The IPAQ cable provides a Male 9 pin DIN
connector while the PC has a Female connector (typical of DCE and DTE
equipment respectively).  A gender converter didn't work (yet).  I believe
it will work as soon as I switch the tx and rx wires on one end of the
gender converter.  I believe these are pins 2 & 3 but I can't confirm
looking it until I look it up somewhere.

Del,
When you have it all figured out please post it to the group, it would be good to have a drawing. If I can get a cable that has the IPAQ end on it and a cable that has the Magellen 310 end on it I should be able to then make a 3 ended cable that connects the two together and also plugs into the car power.
