There is a $10 attachment that converts USB to serial.

Rich:
What do you call it when Garmin sells you an expensive chart package on
CDs, then withdraws support for it so you will be forced to repurchase a new,
even more expensive set on a memory card?
Garmin also screwed owners of perfectly good older GPSs by declining to
provide cords so that the devices can be plugged into modern USB ports instead
of the outdated serial ports. If you want to plot a course on your computer and
transfer it onto your older Garmin GPS, well, you’re out of luck. Go buy a $600
handheld.
I think all’s fair when it comes to dealing with the modern corporation.
Or, at least, the ones that bend the consumer rules as Garmin does.

Hey Steve
I think I got that same Garmin Blue Chart
Americas cd but unfortunately I installed the charts I purchased on 2 different
GPS’s already, my gps and a friends, I seem to recall that was all that was
allowed, install on 2 devices.
I think that you are a wizard with
electronics and stuff like that, is there any way I can cheat and install the
charts from that cd on another GPS, and also is there a way without paying more
to Garmin to gain access to more of the charts on the disc than just the ones I
paid to load to my GPS from it.

I picked up a couple of
blocks from Garhauer and a Garmin GPS 78 from (Radio World?). There was a
Garmin
rep with the electronics who assured me that my unused Bluechart Americas CD
would work with the GPS 78, but an inspection of the Garmin web site seems to
contradict this. Hard to tell, since Garmin has removed almost all refrence to
the discontinued Bluecharts and offers no support whatsoever. More later when I
figure it out.
Tartan C&C has been
at the Toronto
show in the past, but they are in the process of recovering from a serious
financial setback and a change of ownership. Someone posted a link here a few
days ago to a newspaper article regarding their status. They are at the
Cleveland boat
show if I recall correctly. United has direct flights from Toronto , but you
had
better be prepared for a 2 mile walk to the furthest corner of the airport. I
took a connecting flight through Cleveland in November, and that is a long walk
if your luggage does not have wheels.

Those who live in the Toronto area anyway?
I wish they would show a C&C or Tartan at the show
but they only bring out the Catalinas, Hunters, Dufours etc.
I made off with the customary boat hook and I got a
great deal on the discontinued Raymarine ST40 Depth and Speed instruments.
Boxing day deals got me a bluetooth kenwood stereo and infinity speakers for
the
cabin so I've got some gadget installation to do before launch... which I'm
eagerly looking forward to. Spring is just around the
corner!
Any highlights? I went on a weeknight so I likely missed
some stuff.
