+j2x Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Can I use my Garmin GPSmap 76Cx as a GPS receiver with Microsoft Streets and Trips? I have updated the firmware and the USB drivers and still when I try to scan for available ports in Streets & Trips, it doesn't see the 76Cx. Any ideas? Thanks. James Quote Link to comment

James You aren't too clear how you're hooking it up but you mention USB drivers. If you're using your USB cable it's not going to work, you need the data cable. Quote Link to comment
+Cacheoholic Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Or you could try Spanner to create a virtual com port. Quote Link to comment
+j2x Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) tried Spanner, but it's naturally not compatible with Vista. Frustrating Garmin. And my laptop doesn't have a serial port, just USB, and of course I expected the USB port to work.

+BlueDeuce Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 This is a family site. What version of MS&T are you using? Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Yes, you can make it work with the USB cable. Look up Fransons GPSGate. http://gpsgate.com/products/gpsgate_client Quote Link to comment
+j2x Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 This is a family site. What version of MS&T are you using? Streets and Trips 2010. Why? There's a show on fox on prime time named "*^&% My Dad Says" so I don't think I'm offending anyone. If I did, sorry. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Streets and Trips 2010. Why? Different versions can have different solutions. Checking. Quote Link to comment
