Zire 71
Palm Zire71(200)

The Zire 71 is probably the lowest cost PDA you can buy new that will give you good results with GPS2PDA. It has a nice color screen and runs at a reasonable speed. You won’t have any trouble collecting travel time data with this PDA and you might find you start using it for other things as well.

Dell Axim X5 Serial Cable03The Zire 71 uses a version of Palm's Universal Connector, which is common to many of Palm's newer and better devices. In order to use your Tungsten T2 with GPS2PDA, you need to acquire a short piece of cabling that adapts the Universal Connector cradle port to a male, 9-pin serial connector that will mate with your OBD scan tool. These cables are available from The Supply Net (click here) for $39.95. You also can sometimes find equivalent cables at computer stores and office supply stores. Note: this cable is not the same as a Hotysync cable, which has a female serial connector and is wired differently.
