were I can get information on wiring a USB cable to a GPS?


Bob,

I just bought a USB-serial cable which allowed me to hook up my GPS76
to my laptop USB port and to upload and download routes. It does
have a wart with some kinda electronics in it and it requires a
software driver, so I'm not sure that a simple wiring job will do the
trick. Here's a link to look at:
