I recently purchased and modified an old RS Digitraveler and modified it for my MDA with the instructions here. Works great :D ... Thanks to Yorch and Cellfreak. Now I am wondering if anyone tried a better mapping software that will go with it. I would be very interested especially in creating my own maps for countries outside US for travels.

Also does anyone have a solution for SD 802.11b network card without SDIO port maybe using the usb connection etc on the craddle connector?

Cheers.

I have attempted many direct cable and USB W-Fi solutions ( with Wireless Acess points from CISCO, Lynksis and others).

The biggest challenge is finding a unit that is self powered( does not draw power from the USB port itself) and for the device to recognize it.

I managed to get the device to recognize a WAP connected to a powered USB hub...but it was tricky and it defies the purpose of wireless connectivity because it is plugged in...

I open to ideas...
There is a thread called WIFI for the XDA with more details.
