Not quite sure how you are able to connect that one to a pda though?
Yhe OPs item was a totally different thing.

I'm currently running sat nav software on my PDA and was wondering if by inserting this card I would no longer be able to run my sat nav as I would have to remove my memory card. I only have a cheap PDA, it is a Medion and I was also wondering if this would be compatible.

Excuse my ignorance but I'm not the best on gadgetry.

I was thinking the same!

ps Fergee...I've sent a PM with a question about the Medion.

Most PDAs have an SD slot and no Compact Flash slot.




Morgans do have a cracking webcam though - have a look for the MSI one.

I thought that at first, unless he means buying both at a very cheap price you can communicate between PC and PDA.

If it's any help product details are available on the Belkin site:

AFAIK you *will* lose the ability to add more memory via the CF slot. It is a discountinued product only with drivers for PPC2000 and 2002. There are instructions on how to get it to work under PPC2003 on the following thread BUT it involves editing your registry - use at your own risk!

For those who want the Bluetooth for GPS and need memory, then a better option may be a GPS CF card with built in memory or an SD slot:

Obviously more money, but not necessarily compared with the belkin + a BT GPS receiver.

HTH - Rufus.

cheaper at ebuyer

I was looking at that as I was intending on using it as a security camera but I would need a long USB cable which I dont think you can get? (just found the leads at maplin)
