In general - every GPS with an NMEA output is compatible with SeeYou Mobile. What you need is the correct wiring and correct settings in the GPS device. Below is a list of devices with particularities that you need to check before can make a successful connection.
To check whether or not Pocket PC is receiving data from the GPS, go to
Menu > Settings > Harware > Terminal. If you can see sentences being displayed in a once-per-second rate, then your Port Settings are setup correctly.
It is assumed that SeeYou Mobile is configured to communicate on COM 1, baude rate 4800, No Parity, 8 Bits and Stop bit 1. If not stated otherwise, these settings are assumed in
Menu > Settings > Input > Port Settings. It is also assumed that the Pocket PC COM cable is the one you can use to connect the device to the PC through Active Sync. Note that proprietary cables can be made which can save you from having to use a null-modem adapter by reversing pins Tx and Rx.

FLASH CARD/SLEEVE/BLUETOOTH GPS DEVICESAn overwhelming number of these devices is available worldwide. No standardization has been achieved between the manufacturers. That means that each device connects to the PDA with different settings, sometimes even by a single manufacturer. We therefore ask you to use this table as reference and help us build a better database by telling us how your device connects to SeeYou Mobile. Your best reference is the manual for your device.
