Geek challenge

.

Current little project - get this little lot talking to each other. It's a Sony Ericsson K530i phone with an HGE-100 GPS reciever & Tracker software and an HP Ipaq 2200 (I think) with Memory May installed.

Of course it may not be possible to get them talking for on-the-trail use. But I'd settle for having the ability to record tracks, download them to the PC and convert them into Memory Map.

So far, I've got to the point where I can download the file to the PC and Convert the first 500 trackpoints into MM. I used GPSU software to do that, but I need to pay 40 bucks to get more than 500 converted. That's more than I want to spend.

What I have seen so far is that the Tracker software has a finite limit to the number of points it can store. However, it's significantly more accurate than my current Garmin GPS II+. We'll see how it goes.
