GPS unit connecting to SJ-30?

[ZeroG]

I recently got an SJ-30 and now I am wondering if it is possible to connect a GPS unit, such as the Garmin eTrex, and use mapping software on my pda to display a "live" map of my location?

If that works I would not need to buy any of the more expensive GPS units that show a map, I could simply use my pda if I want that functionality.

I would very much appreciate any help or comments on this matter.

Thanks,
ZeroG

See the info in my post on the NX forum http://www.cliesource.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4932 .

Not trying to cross-post, but it answers your question and I'd have to type it all over again!;)

It works with any unit with the T-series connector.

Thanks for the info! I am looking to buy the Garmin eTrex Venture (going to use it for Geocaching) and it looks like I should be able to connect it to my SJ30 and display my location through Mapopolis (for car trips).

Don't mind me asking how much is the GPS memory stick in US Dollars? :rolleyes:

I use an SJ-30 with Garmin Etrex Venture both with Mapopolis for streetmaps and also for waypoint management for geocaching.

If you need further info, I will dig up the place I purchased my cable from. I built an ugly one that worked and then ended up buying one as well. :rolleyes:
