If the Jornada 515 has a serial port and can accept serial connections then YES. You would need a Jornada 515 - Serial cable, a Null Modem Adapter and the serial cable supplied with the Talex. Connect the two cables together using the Null Modem Adapter and configure the software on your Jornada for Serial on Com 1.

i got it wrong its actually a jornado 525.the connection to the talex is like a stereo 3.5 jack plug & the other end is a serial port plug that connects to the computer for downloading updates.the jornado has a serial port plug to the computer but i dont know what the other end is that connects to the jornado,its flat 18mm wide and has 12 connections on one side.so how can you connect the two together to use as sat nav.and where can i get a cable or cables.to do it any help would be appreciated.

Try PC-Mobile www.pc-mobile.net for suitable cables. Unless they offer a custom cable which I doubt then you need the HP Jornada - Serial cable and then you connect that to the Talex Serial Cable via the Null Modem Adapter which is a small 'dongle' that translates some connections at the same time.
