can one connect external USB device to Touch?

Sorry if it is a dumb question..

I have a a Pharos USB GPS and I'd like to connect it to my Touch
to compare the performance with the built-in one...

I'm not sure if such a thing is allowed by standards, though,
and if it is, one needs perhaps to install a device driver for WM6.1?

(Cable-wise it is possible with the help of a little sex-change usb adapter, that I've seen in the stores)

can someone clarify this please...

thanks a lot in advance

You cant connect it directly but some GPS receivers have a bluetooth addon clip, so you can pair it to a phone or a laptop.

I also have the Pharos GPS from MST 2006..bought a female to female usb to plug the USB cable from the Pharos to the USB that plugs into the Unit but it does not seem to power the GPS like a normal USB does...

SO I had to order a bluetooth adapter for the GPS to use it...
