| Hello Merlin
I now own 4 GARMIN's GPS. I never had any worries with the link ti the
PC with COM and USB ports since 1998 up to now. Using Mapsource
software package or thierd party free and sharewares.
Of course, I have had to upgrade my old Win98SE USB drivers and system
to make it reconnized new fashion GPS with have to be reconnazed by
Windows as USB disk (such as Streetpilot C550).

| I sent a question to Garmin technical support, and they said that If you're
running Win XP, there's a common problem with the serial port being
recognized as a 'ball mouse'. I disabled that ball mouse in the Hardware
Profiles screen, and then the freeware TrackMaker recognized the GPS and
works perfectly fine.
