MapX mobile won't run on the CE machines, but we do have a 
solution for the equivalent of the Trimble Recon (but not
yet for the Geo series).

The Recon is built by a Trimble subsidiary, 
Tripod Data Systems (www.tdsway.com) with an identical unit 
sold under TDS and Trimble badging. It does not have the 
integrated GPS, but connects with the rest of the Trimble 
offering and is a really nice rugged bit of gear. 

See the TDS press release of October 7th re the new 
Pocket PC 2003 version of the Recon. We have GBM Mobile 
(a MapX Mobile based end user solution) running on the Pocket 
PC 2003 iPAQs, so we expect it to run on the new Recon 
which has very similar specifications.  

But I am only talking about our GBM Mobile MapX implementation. 
I understand the standard MapX Mobile and most of the other 
commercial MapX Mobile based applications are targeted for Pocket 
PC 2002 and won't run on 2003, so they won't work on the 
new Recon.  

GBM Mobile reads the NMEA output supported as an alternative 
to the proporitary format on the Trimble GPS receivers. 
See www.geobasemap.com for details on GBM Mobile.
