Is it possible to configure the 60C to act as the GPS receiver for DeLorme
Street Atlas or MS Trips and Streets? Or do I need to buy the USB deives
like the one Holux makes?

Thanks,

The 60C has both serial and USB connectors and can be used with Delorme or
the M$ software. To use the USB cable, you will need the latest Delorme
(Street Atlas 2006) as previous versions do not talk the Delorme USB
protocol. Not sure if M$ talks it yet, I think not.

Great,
Well that explains the 12 volt accessory having the 9 pin com port
connector. Thanks for the reply. This is my first GPS and it has been more
than what I expected.
