Holux GPSlim 236 Mouse Cable

Hi, i use a holux gr 211 I have wired up in the car and the gpslim when abroad. My 211 has started taking ages to get a first fix, anything between 5 & 8 mins, its about 3-4 years old - on the way out ??

Anyway i thought i would replace it with the gpslim, what i'm after is using it as a wired mouse as opposed to bluetooth - so i'm after a split cable to power the gpslim and connect it via cable to my ipaq4700, which needs power to

Any idea where I can get one from ?? i have had a rummage round the web and can locate leads for the 4700 and power to the gpslim but not the 4700 and power & data to the gpslim.

Help would be appreciated

Why not use it as bluetooth?

Holux UK went bust a few years ago it wil be a struggle getting that cable I think.

Hi, Thanks for the reply

The main reason for not using bluetooth is that i do quite a few long distance trips, I don't want to continually keep "plugging in" my gps at home to charge it - so i would want to run a charge cable from the car and if i'm doing that I may as well have a direct connection that provides power and data as i've already done that for the iPAQ

Holux PS2 to GR-23x Bluetooth GPS Connection Cable, P/N: 67037-00 - GPS City is what I'm after but without the $50 p&p !!!!

I just can't seem to locate it in the UK

Did you not get a car charger with it?

Its probably going to be easier to use that and a double cigarette lighter adaptor than it will be to get a split cable for it.

Would be just as easy to get a spare battery for it as well since its the old nokia style battery.

thanks for tips
