Ah, totally missed that. Sorry.

I suspect someone could build such an adapter, although I haven't seen one of those, either. If you're feeling handy, you could probably assemble such a cable yourself...

Before you go any further, do you know if this GPS unit will actually work with your iPAQ, though?

I don't see why not - assuming the iPAQ is capable of receiving RS232 data (I'm new to this PDA lark, so that's a fairly uninformed assumption :wink: ). What I mean is, it's a standard GPS unit.

Just wondered if anyone had seen a cable like this... or could point me to a resource to help me build one
