Hardware to VRA with Site Mate? I am looking at using Site Mate with an iPaq for mapping tile lines, etc. this spring. However, I also want to be able to do as applied maps and VRA in the near future. Most likely we will be using the SatLoc SLX GPS receiver units, but what other hardware and cables are required to use the iPaq? Sorry for the redundancy of this posting, but I haven't found an explicit list of requirements yet. Thanks in advance. http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?10,40166,40166#msg-40166Mon, 20 May 2013 00:21:19 -0400 Phorum 5.2.7 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?10,40166,40169#msg-40169 Dual serial card adapter http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?10,40166,40169#msg-40169

1. A GPS to iPaq cable.
2. A Compact Flash or PC Card Expansion pack.
3. A Compact Flash or PC Card Serial adapter. This goes into the CF or PC Card slot to give you a serial port to hook to your controller. Be sure to get a ruggedized card as they seem to hold up better.
4. You'll probably want the auto adapter so you can power the iPaq externally.

You can get everything but the GPS cable from Mobile Planet. You can get the GPS cable from most GPS consultants such as Premier Technologies.
