#58900 - 14/01/2002 18:37 How would I wire this GPS into my power system?
drakino carpal tunnel Registered: 08/06/1999 Posts: 7868	With Kim's GPS software possibly advancing again, I'd like to find a way to embed the GPS reciever I bought a while back into the car. It has 2 plugs, one for the serial port, and the other a PS/2 port that it uses soley for power. I've looked up PS/2 pinouts, and it looks like it's a 5volt interface. What would be the easiest way to wire this into my car's power system?

How about getting one of those plug in power adaptors you get for plugging into the car and running with that for the short term. _________________________ P.Allison fixer of big engines Mk2+Mk2a signed by God / Hacked by the Lord Aberdeen Scotland

I'm assuming with this it would be easier to permanently wire into the car as well, since this is built to take in 12v, and convert it to something the GPS is willing to work with.
