Help ?? How can I use GPS with my IPAQ 3835

[paquser]

I have Earthmate GPS Receiver. How can I use my IPAQ 3835 with this GPS. The Receiver has serial port. Also, any suggestion for using street software ?
Any help will be appreciated...

Earthmate sends a signal that is not NMEA 2.0 compliant (the industry standard for crossing platforms). They use a propriatary code. I use a Magellan Meridian GPS receiver and have to use a serial port to CF card, then to a CF expansion port to make the connection. I have a co-worker who has the same receiver you mentioned and I couldn't get it to work either. If you get into the GPS and Ipaq, I recommend MS Streets - check it out.

Delorme has a new Earthmate receiver (usb) which is supposed to use NMEA standard. I recommend you contact Delorme (www.delorme.com) to see if they have a solution for your current Earthmate receiver.
