Dell Axim X50v and Earthmate GPS

External Since: Jul 04, 2005 Posts: 1

Does anyone have this combination? (Dell Axim X50v and Delorme
Earthmate GPS). The Delorme webite has a listing saying the GPS will
work with "Axim X5 Advanced".
Does anyone know what I will need to get the GPS to work with my
soon-to-be-purchased Dell Axim X50v?
Thanks!

Delorme called several of their receivers "Earthmates" and the first of
those use a Rockwell protocol rather than the NEMA standard protocol.

In addition, while their Tripmates used NEMA, they required a special
initialization string from the software to wake it up... something they
may have also used in the Earthma.

Very few gps apps (if any) were compatible with the Rockwell protocol...
posting some make model numbers would help.
