SteveS and Sreigel -

Thanks for the ideas. Steves, my laptop doesn't have a serial port, which is one of the reasons I liked the new USB GPS. Steve R. - I couldn't find the .inf file on my MS S&T disk. There wasn't a GPS directory. Not quite sure how to install a .inf file anyway. I had downloaded the latest Garmin driver, but it looks like Microsoft wants to use the darn serial port. I've read about software that creates virtual serial ports, but even if I had a program, how do you link USB to the virtual port? I sent a customer support question to Garming and will try to send something to Microsoft as well.
