I have used a Fortuna GPSmart bluetooth gps with xda2, I bought an optional cable which powers the xda2 and the gps and also allows data connection to xda or xda2, it needs to be set to Tomtom gps, nmea 38400 and Com 1, beams must be switched off in settings/connections/beams. I also have a Holux GR-230 bluetooth gps, I tried the cable from the Fortuna, with the same settings and it also works perfectly as a wired gps while charging both xda/xda2 and gps. This may be of interest to somebody.

Im looking for a Y-(Data/Power)-cable to connect a XDA2i GPSmart. Where can I buy this in EU?
Also the Holux BT GPS cable shoud be compatible with GPSmart.
But i cant find this in EU. :oops:
