I don't know if this helps or not. I received the e-mail below from Toshiba
when I asked a connecting my Garmin to e800.
GP.
snip..
You PDA only supports for SD and CF slots, it does not support serial
connection at all if you have GPS that is using serial connection. You can
buy the GPS with CF or SD which will help you connect to the PDA but not
serial connections.

The only difference is E805 has one extra software than the E800 which is
photobase software for you to view and edit photo.

Good luck
