Garmin GPS + Zaurus

[Fraggy]

Hello there,

I don't know where else to post this question, so I'll post it here in "newbies" (I'm a newbie after all )

I've got a Zaurus SL-5500 and a Garmin eTrex Legend GPS.

Is there any way to connect those two together?

I know that there's some wonderfull Open Source GPS software available for Linux that would allow you to connect a GPS to a laptop, but I wonder if such a thing also exists for the Zaurus. Actually I know there is, but is it compatible with the Garmin GPSses? And do I need a special cable for that? (The Garmin cable that comes with the GPS is a SERIAL cable, so connecting it to a Z would need some adapter I suppose).

Anybody has experience with this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Gets you to the DB9 so you can attach the Garmin cable.

Might need a null-modem cable too (very simple, just crosses over two of the three wires in the serial cable).
