What you can do is use a USB to serail adaptor. Another alternative is send me your USB GPS and I'll send you a serial one!

Sure you can... it just has to be a Universal Serial Bus input... the easy way to do that is to grab that connector you chopped off, and reconnect it back to the cord you have hanging there. Then you can plug it back into the USB port on your computer, and have a working USB GPS again. USB is not RS-232. RS-232 is not USB. Wikipedia has a good page to start you out on learning about some of the multitude of serial communication protocols out there... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_communication We are even using a serial communications mode right now, as I am typing characters in a serial format, and you are reading them in a serial format.
