GPS

1. The Garmin iQue3000, 3200, 3600 - a combination GPS receiver and Palm PDA.
2. A GPS receiver, a PDA and the correct connecting cable.
or
3. A GPS receiver, a PDA, both connected by Bluetooth.
There are various types of connectors on Palm PDA's
· serial
· Universal Connector
· mini-USB - we know of no cables to connect a Palm PDA to a GPS unit using the mini-USB connector. If you find some, please let us know.
· Bluetooth (a short-range wireless)
· Multi-connector -

Palm does not stock older models. Unfortunately the lower-end current models (Zire, Z22) cannot connect to GPS receivers. However, older PDA's are very inexpensive on eBay. In fact they are so cheap that you can purchase several and use them for backup.
Cables
Order serial and Universal Connector cables from one of the following:
· https://www.bluehillsinnovations.com/
Order multi-connector cable from:
· http://pc-mobile.net/pt5.htm (note that for this cable you also need a power supply - )
We have found that the multi-connector cable tends to slow down the PDA. Thus, just plug it in when you need to get a GPS location.
Bluetooth
Locate III will now work with Bluetooth. We have only tested this with the BTA01 Bluetooth GPS Adapter from pc-mobile.net. This is an adapater that plugs into the serial output port of a GPS. It then sends a Bluetooth signal that is picked up by a Bluetooth-enabled Palm PDA. If you test Palm Locate with another type of Bluetooth connection, please let us know.
