Need Help With Etrex Data Cable On Topo


Recommended Posts

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!
