Hi,

I recently found an old pocket PC in my garage, a HP ipaq rz1700 which can be used as a gps if you connect it to a station where there is a gps antenna connected with a RS232 cable (gnd, 5v, RX, TX) I can't find any help on internet on how to connect it to my arduino.

how can I do?

It looks like you'll have to either use an interface/driver chip like a Max3323 or get an RS232 shield to go between the two (that's if the pocketPC just outputs RS232).
