I am trying to use my Tomtom Wired GPS with my Meade ETX telescope so
that I can align it accurately. Does anyone know have the pin out
diagram for the GPS and know it's power requirement? Thanks in advance!

Does that have a PS/2 (Mini DIN-6) connector on the receiver? It is
probably a branded model made by someone like Altina, Holux, Rikaline or
other makers of the mouse style wired receivers.

What are the markings on the receiver? Maybe it can be cross referenced
to one of the others. There are several different schemes as far as how
the 6 pins on the PS/2 connector are wired. I know that Altina and
Rikaline, and maybe Holux, use the same scheme but Haicom does not.

The essential conductors would be a power pair (5V+ and ground) and a
RS-232 serial TXD RXD pair. The other conductors (not normally used)
are for a DGPS receiver input and a TTL pair.

The RJ11 pinout has been supplied in this thread:
