Really? The units usually come with a CD (the GPSmap 60cs did) with a driver on it, and when the unit is plugged in and turned on it is listed in the device manager (under a new category "Garmin Devices") as a "Garmin USB GPS". Shouldn't I be able to connect to that device and then start transferring data over pipes (or something like that)?
Already have code for serial port communication. Thanks anyway though.
