If you have a Garmin or Magellan ask their sales team where you can get a cable from, they do make them aparrently. Yellow computing do a software kit for connecting and I think Garmin offered me one when i asked but I'm sorry, i cant remember who i was talkin to when they told me about it. Somewhere in the links section of this fine site is another co. who do a gps connection but, as always, my memory fails me!

oops read gps for gprs sorry<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by cmurray on 2002-03-08 2121 ]</font>

I've installed in my 9210 the GPS-SMS application, and it works fine with the Garmin 12XL handheld GPS receiver for displaying position, heading and speed data, and also for sending that data via SMS to another GSM receiver.
The link cable is a Standard NMEA/9PIN plugged to the GPS, but then I had to build the second cable myself, between the 9PIN to the nokia's RS232 (code DLR-2L).
The deal is to link the correct pins between the 9PIN and the RS232, that you can find in the instructions guide of the GPS-SMS application web page.
What I would like to find is a software able to use this data for plotting into a chart and navigation program (as for example TomTom City Maps...)

Hi, thanks for lots of the reply's
I did not know about that GPS-SMS app. Is there a web for that? And where top find a design of the correct plugging of the pins in the connector?? Thank for any reply!
What concerns the use of such datas to plot charts, it should be possible somehow. I am right trying to develop a app that could send them to the db for spatial queries. But at least you can use the data from the GPS in a desktop GIS...
