This item (not mine):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...Q%3AUS%3A1&rd=1

"THIS ITEM IS THE PHAROS STREETNAV - NAVIGATION CORDS FOR THE HP
JORNADA 540 SERIES INCLUDES RECEIVER/ANTENNA-IGPS RECEIVER POCKET PAK -
PS/2 TYPE CONNECTION/CIGARETTE LIGHTER ADAPTER CONNECTOR SET IT WAS
USED ONCE - NEVER COULD FIGURE IT OUT WITH MY PDA - NOT A TECHIE "

I asked the seller and he said it does not have any software. Is this
something I should stay away from? Is there any software I can get
that won't cost a ton of money and make this work? Thank you.

Basically, every PDA receiver can be made to work with every PDA nav
software. Except the Pharos receiver cannot even be made to work with
the Pharos software. Also, the picture in that auction looks like it
is the iGPS 180, which is even worse than the iGPS 360.
