+Train_Man Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hi, I know its possible but I'm not sure how... I have some software on my Palm M125 that can read from an external GPS source. I also have a 60csx. The only accessory to the M125 I have is the USB cradle. How do I connect the two? (and the cradle is to go to the PC not hook up to a usb accessory) Quote Link to comment
+Team Neos Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) Why do you want to send coordinates to your Palm? That will help someone suggest the best method. If you want to use the Palm to store information on geocaches (coords, descriptions, hints, last few logs) there are programs to do just that. Cachemate or Plucker/Spinner for example.

I want to use the palm because I have a palm application that has extremely detailed maps (much better than garmin, and its routable topo) plus it can store geocache info and i could use the palm as the only IO device and just use the 60CSx as a reciever. I'd just like to try it out because it sounds good. It needs GPS signal to route/put you on the map and navigate. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

I think I read somewhere that the 125 and 500 series have the same connector. You'll need to scroll down the page a little. Quote Link to comment

You'll need to scroll down the page a little. I'm pretty sure that the M100 series connector is compatible with the Tungsten series, as that's what I'm using at work. (not the 500 series) Before you purchase the connector, I'd verify the compatibility on Palm's site. Edited August 1, 2006 by ackbar9722 Quote Link to comment

It would appear that we are both right, as they all use Palm's "Univeral Connector", which is unfortunately no longer "universal". Quote Link to comment
R_S Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 DB9M serial cable for Palm (see earlier posting) and DB9F (standard) serial cable for 60CSx or DB9F (standard) serial cable for Palm and DB9M (off-brand) serial cable for 60CSx or standard DB9F cables for both devices and a DB9M-to-DB9M NULL MODEM connector or a pair of cables from PC-Mobile with their very neat connector. You will probably need to run the 60CSx with the NMEA interface. Quote Link to comment

I have one of those GPZ7P > Palm Zire71/Tungsten C/W/T series Interface cables on order, so I could post a close up of it when it arrives, also willing to sell the thing cause last night I noticed that its the wrong connector for the E2 that I am using... oops tho only problem is that I ordered the gps interface one + garmin cables so you would still need the cable for the gpsr to the GPZ7P connector Quote Link to comment
