+OldFrenchy Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I recently upgraded my computer and am now faced with a dillema: I have only one serial (com) port, and it is being used by a pda cradle. My Garmin Etrex Summit needs to be attached to a com port in order to download/upload info from Topo maps, so I purchased a serial-to-usb cable thinking I could get around the issue that way. However, the cable is seen by the computer as a USB device and Topo does not pick it up. Does anyone have an idea how I might connect my Summit t the computer without a serial cable? Any suggestions would be appreciated! OldFrenchy Quote Link to comment
+OldFrenchy Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 OK guys- I just figured it out. I had to find another driver for the cable as XP installed a default Microsoft driver that didn't work. Quote Link to comment
