MS Streets 2008: Use on Ipaq?

[Dymaxion]

Hi All,

new subscriber so bear with me. Been using a Hewlett-Packard iPaq cabled to a Garmin Legend GPS and running Pockets Streets 2003 no
probs, other than making up the cable. Pocket Streets is the software.

Question - Is anyone using the GPS receiver that is bundled with the 2008 edition of Streets and Trips with an Ipaq? The Ipaq connector has both serial and USB wiring built in. I used the serial port and NMEA for the Garmin, but I'd like to make an adaptor for the USB port to handle the new receiver and S&T 2008.

The receiver works fine on my laptop when mobile but I want the iPaq
running since it's an easier dash mount! Plus I don't like leaving my Garmin on the dash, prefer the button type receiver that came bundled.

Many thanks, sorry if this is already discussed, I searched for help with no luck. Tim

Don't know about Street 2008 but the same principles would apply as they did to the 2003 version.

BUT - is there a PDA version? The website only mentions a laptop version together with a 'GPS Locator' which appears to be a separate driver element to connect S&T 2008 on the laptop to a GPS.
