    GPS Receiver For HP Jornada 568

    Hi guys,

    Recently bagged myself a bargain on eBay, but wondered if anyone knows of anywhere I can get hold of a cheap wired GPS receiver for it?

    Or does anyone have one they're looking to get rid of?

    Most wired GPS receivers have a PS2 type connector on them (note the most bit), when you buy a GPS the company will provide an adapter cable to fit your PDA. Not all manufacturers provide the adapters for all PDAs. For a review of GPS receivers alook at www.pocketgpsworld.com I have used a couple of diferent receivers and the Rikaline X5 is my favourite wired one, for my own system I use a bluetooth fortuna clipon. The receivers badged as tomtom are normally seen a being a tad arse so are best avoided, although the software is good.

    Ebay is worth looking at for gps gear, as some of the big retailers put cheap stuff on there.
