Problems with Altina GGM308

Sentra_T · 12-03-2007, 08:56 AM

I just bought an Altina GGM308 GPS, the thing is that I cant make it work on my Windows XP computer.
The gps has a female ps2 connector so I cant connect it directly to the computer.
Im not sure how to connect it, should I connect it to a PS2 or a serial on the computer? The led on the GPS never went on.
Thanks
Diego

That unit is designed to connect to a PDA.
Check with the manufacturer to see if there is a USB or serial DB9 adapter for it.

Plugging it into a PS/2 port isn't going to accomplish squat.

Ive seen people in this forum using the ggm308 with computers, I think it can work, just didnt figure out how.
