Cable For A Garmin Gps60 To A Palm Z22?

[+BBWolf+3Pigs]

Is it possible to connect up a Garmin GPS60 to a Palm Z22 to get position data for DeLorme's Street Atlas Handheld 2006?

 

Can I use a USB (F) to USB 5 pin mini male adapter?

 

Is it that easy? Has anyone tried it?

 

Thanks in advance.

That particular cable lists the Garmin 12x, but not the GPS60. You may need to shop around a bit more. As I recall, the 12x has a 4 slot plug (it does not have a slot for a central pin) but I may have that backward. I think the 12 series uses a different voltage than the 60. The data transfer might work but the power supply would be wrong.

 

Edit: Other combinations here.

I don't think you can do a USB connection (someone with more computer knowledge can corrert me if I am wrong)

 

Here is one that works through the serial in/out on the GPS and the port on a Palm I don't know if it will work with your particular Palm or not.

 

The one Sputnik found was better in that it provides power to both the Palm and the GPS.

Sorry, I missed the OP's specific mention of USB. From what I've read in the forum, the GPSr and the Palm are both USB "slaves" and won't talk to each other. You would need to go serial, AFAIK.

The Z22 only has a USB connection (5 pin mini-female).

 

With mapping programs, does the application query the GPSr for data, or is it a "push" from the receiver? If the applicationn pulls the data, shouldn't a USB cable work?

Like Sputnik said, I don't think you can do it through USB. You might get a USB to serial adapter for the Palm and connect it to the GPS that way.

Thanks for all the help. I've done more research using Google, and Sputnik is right. Both a Palm and GPSr are USB slaves, and hence cannot comminicate directly.

 

Thanks again!
