Hi all, I run Nat. GEO TOPO map software on win xp. I Have a Garmin Geko 201 gps. My new computer does not have a serial port so I bought a Startech serial to USB conversion cable for mt gps. The computer says my hardware is working properly but my map software program tells me there is no cable connection. I have updated the cable drivers from Startech, still no connection success. Perhaps the cable converter does not work with garmin although the manufacturer claims otherwise. From what I can tell it sure seems to be a connection problem, I've checked my settings, baud rate, GPS set to normal and port. Any suggestions on solutions or recommendations for cable conversions that work. Buddy
