hooray! I got it working..
it only works with the RA serial cable - a standard cable didnt work..

my RA is versiopn 118- so NMEA0183v2 4800bps (set this in GPS status field- serial cable on COM1

on RA, press STORE and DELETE at the same time to get version.
press middle button until GPS is displayed, then DELETE button to display IIIIIGPS (5 bars means it is outputting GPSA data to serial)

On the Ipaq it will not read signal strength nor number of sats, but it IS working..
then plot your route and you are away! :)
