Hi,
Would like to start using my toshiba e750 PPC with Pocket streets 2005.
I already have my Garmin GPS12 device and I have seen cables to connect them but I was wondering if it's better to have a new CF GPS for it.

I don't mind the GPS being bulky and think it's more important to have a good reception as I will be using it mainly in the car.
Does a handheld GPS like the Garmin GPS 12 give better coveridge or reception than the newer cf GPS cards?

I hear everybody taking about 4-6 sats and even less indoors but I receive 8-10 indoors... Wink

Hope somebody can help me out so I can get started with this great technology!!!

Thanks from Australia!!! 8)

Staylow!

I'd use your GPS12, it's a good GPS Unit and the cables (try www.pc-mobile.com) are inexpensive. It'll give you a good grounding and if you get hooked you can always upgrade the GPS component at a later date Smile

My first personal GPS was a garmin GPS 8, followed by a GPS 12 which was a superb receiver, So much so I'm tempted to buy another second hand to play with!

Hope you'll know.

Yes, the 12XL and 12 shared the same data/power interface.
