hi
I am using an XDA IIi with a hard wired GPS and would like to know if the plug at the bottom is the same.
thank you
If you are asking is the gps plug the same as a standard com port plug the answer is no.

Is it possible to connect a wired GPS receiver to a Jam?
I have a BR305 which I rewired to suit an XDA using wiring diagrams from this site. The USB lead to the Jam would supply a pair of power cables (+v and - v) and a pair of data cables. If this was possible where would i get the connection info? I know what the wires do that go into the current xda type plug.
Thanks
Doug
Sorry--This subject has already been raised (But not finalised?)

I have the same USB receiver so keep me updated if you find a way to connect it.. I already mailed the dutch distributer of the GS305 but haven't received an answer so far..
Ok will do.

The connector is a standard mini-usb port:
it has only four pins +V USB+ USB- GND.
It does not carry serial port signals.
Could you use wireless instead?
V
yup, you can sync via wireless or over bluetooth....
Bluetooth might be a problem if he's got no usb. But he might be able to get a usb pcmciacard or bluetooth or wireless card.
V
You could add USB ports to your laptop pretty cheaply.
eg http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=3V5S is £14 and has firewire too. (by the looks of it, the description is somewhat lacking!)

I have tomtom 5 with a wired GPS and a powered PDA mount with a GPS input into it.
The Jam cannot seem to recognise the GPS when I link it into the PDA mount
Does anyone know how to make it work if at all does it work?
I'm not sure if the USB connect caters for a serial input??
HELP!!!!!
having the same issue, is there anyway what so ever?
no, not posible, there is no driver-less conversion posible from serial to usb, and the usb port can't act as usb Host
Hi, I have small problem with my universal charger. I tried to use another which is auto charger from 0.1A to 1A (standard USB), i try to use normal USB cable with mini usb end. And it is not working, when i used the same cable with computer it is working and charging.
Maybe someone have a mini usb universal connector scheme, how to connect (+5V and -5V) to charge, maybe I have mised something... how many A I need to put on it 1A, 500mA, 550mA ... ???
Thanks ..... Waiting ..... )))
Not sure if it's related, but if you try and use a standard USB cable with one of those cigarette lighter to USB power things it doesn't work. I had to connect pin 4 and 5 of the mini USB together to get it to charge my Exec.
Cheers,
Steve.
Which one is 4 and 5 ??? It is + or - Any scheme ???
Joning 4 and 5 is ok. Thanks ! Topic is closed.
Glad it worked.
Cheers,
Steve.

I've tried this with the Proporta CL->USB plug and found that if you plug the USB cable in with the Universal switched off, it will start to charge after 10 seconds, I can then switch my Universal on and it will still be externally powered.
Took a few weeks before I worked out the trick of switching it off and waiting for the orange charging light to come on!
I could use some help or an answer to my problem. I have 8125 with tomtom 6 on it. I also have a wired GPS that I was using on my lap top. The gps has a usb connector so it could't be hook to the usb mini that is on the wizard.
So I got an idea of using a USB hub to give both power and connect together through the hub... Well no joy... I have tested all setting I can.. I turned off Beam, I tried changing all ports in exturnal GPS (even none) and it will not see the GPS. I tried all settings in tomtom also
So I guess the question is can you use the sync/charge usb mini/usb cable to connect to a hub that is connected to a usb GPS?
If no how do you use a wired GPS....
Thank you for any help....
no help in the house?
Guess nobody so far has a any info on how to help me with this problem...
You'll need to use a Bluetooth GPS.
