Will Parallel to Serial work for Garmin units instead of USB->Serial?


Recommended Posts

Hi again all, just wondering if it is possible to use a parallel to serial cable to connect an eTrex Legend to a system running WinXP? Off hand, I can't think of a good reason why not, but I know nothing about GPS transfer protocol. If it is possible, would it be a null-modem/cross-over cable, or a straight-through that would be required? I would be using the connection for firmware updates, Easy GPS, and Mapsource data transfers.
