Hi all,
A newbie here.
I have a motorola MPx200 with Mapopolis software. I want to add GPS functionality. Does anyone know of a GPS device that is compatable with the MPx200?
Thanks in advance......... |

I know - NONE, I am afraid.
You need BT or serial port to connect a GPS. MPx200 has none of these.
Though one could argue that it is possible to connect via IR. _________________ Pc-Mobile

Excuse my ignorance on this...
I have seen some GPS mice that connect via USB. The MPx200 connection is mini-USB. So a physical interconnect should (?) work. Drivers are the next thing I suppose. Obviously something like Mapopolis will work with it.
Any ideas you clever people |

The physical connection is not the problem, the MPx200 does not have serial port support and so it is a non starter I'm afraid. _________________ Darren Griffin |
