Bud,
I want to use Delorme's USB Earthmate. I've done some more research and found that it has accessory serial and USB cables, and software to create a virtual serial port. I can also try a USB to serial converter. Thanks for yours and other suggestions I've received. I should be able to configure the GPS for Maptitude on a laptop with a legacy serial port or the newer USB only laptops. Thanks again, Ian --- In [email protected], "gburgmeyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "silja1964" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hello, > > > > Is anyone using a USB GPS device with Maptitude?
