I am a Trimble GPS dealer needing to find a serial cable GPS solution for the Axim. I have easily solved the getting GPS to work with our mapping program by connecting the (orange wire) to pin 2 and the black and shield ground to pin 5. However, I also need to use the RTS (Request to Send) and the CTS (Clear to Send) pins in order to automatically log data. The problem is when these wires (blue and brown) are placed on pins 7 and 8 it fouls up the GPS data string. What is the problem and is there a solution that would allow us to use these pins to automically log data with a switch?

Thanks,

Record
