On many iPaqs there is a setting to insist on a "slow USB charge
(rate)" (StartSettingsSystemPowerUSB Charging). There is a
chance that this puts less load on the supply circuit and could
avoid blowing fuses.

Some say that you can power you ipaq with the GPS-NAV . The
problems
with this is that the power converter in the GPS-NAV is not rated
to
power an Ipaq and may pop the internal thermal fuse in the
GPS-Nav.


Thanks for all of this guys. My chum (whose glider it is) has worked
out what to do and is going to put in a separate power supply for the
PDA.

Cheers
