Maybe you need a USB-to-serial driver, I use PL-2303 for my GPS unit.

Thanks to Mike and Jon for your help but unfortunately I have had no
success. All things I had tried except maybe the definitive step
through. I shall keep working on it and let everyone know when I work
it out.

Check the settings/configuration of your GPS. If I remember correctly,
to use a USB connection the GPS should be set to the garmin protocols &
not NMEA 0183.

Subject: [MI-L] GeoTracker and Garmin GPSMap76CSx
Morning all,
Interesting rumour Bill...maybe it all got too hard!!!
My problem is with the GeoTracker shipped with MapInfo V8.5 and
connecting my Garmin GPSMap 76CSx to it for real time tracking in the
field. This is the first time I have tried connecting via GeoTracker
and I keep getting a 'Status is unavailable...' signal in the GeoTracker
dialogue.
The GPS is connected via USB as the laptop does not have a serial port.
I do have connection to the laptop via another application but cannot
into GeoTracker.
I have gone through the 'help' file, done the preferences stuff but
with
no success. Any assistance would be great.
