Okay, I purchased a Radio Shack DigiTraveler
GPS receiver specifically for an iPAQ 3835. The
manual (one sheet) says to use the Settings
feature and select Com 1. But in the dropdown
there is only Com 3 and Com 4? I have tried
EVERYTHING. Com 1 appears to be reserved for
a modem - but I don't have a modem, I don't have
any hardware installed and this is the first
software I've installed. Installation of software on
my laptop and hand held was just fine - but when
trying to connec to the GPS device - "No GPS
device detected...."

I would really appreciate any advice or
information relative to this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Have you found the answer to your problem? I purchased DigiTraveler for my IPAQ 3870 and have exactly the same problem. Also tried the mobile version of MS Streets. It also does not recognize the DigiTraveler. Also tried hooking up to two of my Garmin GPS's - in both cases. I think there must be something about the settings on the IPAQ 3800 seires....
