Article by
Dave Burrows
There are so many handheld GPS Receivers out on
the market, it's starting to become very difficult to find the wood from the
threes. Most of the receivers are of similar specification, but some can
be quite different in price, so we've tried to bring together the most popular
handheld GPS Receivers and compare the complete manufacturer specifications.
You can also read the review on any of these GPS Receivers if a review has been
written by clicking on the Read Review link under each GPS Receiver. |

Connecting a handheld GPS Receiver to a PC or Pocket PC
Both Garmin and Magellan handheld GPS
Receivers ship with a cable that will connect it to a PC, but none of
them ship with a cable that will allow you to connect it to a PDA
(Palm or Pocket PC).
PC-Mobile supply a
cable set. The
cable should comprise of two parts, the first part is the cable that
screws onto the back of the Magellan like the one below.
Magellan GPS Cable
Garmin GPS II / III / V / 12 / 30 / 40 /
45 / 48 / 89 / 90 / GPS76 / StreetPilot / GPSMap
Garmin eTrex / eMap Cable
The second part of the cable will have a
3.5mm socket on one end which will connect with the 3.5mm plug (left)
and the other end of the cable will have a PDA connector. This
then allows you to use your favourite GPS Receiver on your favourite
PDA and utilise a whole host of other mapping products anything from
Topographical products like Fugawi, OziExplorer, Memory-Map to Street
Routing software like TomTom Navigator, PowerLOC Destinator and you
don't then need to purchase a second GPS Receiver if you're primary
use going forward will be on the Pocket PC! |
