from my understanding the pda is designed to send stuff via the usb but not to receive. you need this usb otg(on the go) to make it receive aswell?? new one on me but thought i'd ask if anyone else had heard anything.

Don't know if this is any use:

Unfortunatley I haven't been able to look at the website - we use Websense at work which prevents us from looking at shopping sites (as well as many others!) during working hours :-(

I'm still not sure why you would need this. Which model of Toshiba do you have and also what GPS reciver do you have?

I've never tried this I'm afraid so I really can't say if you need USB to go or not. Sorry.
