Hi there.
I'm trying to figure out how to use Garmin 18 with my Toshiba e550g Pocket
PC 2002. I have a usb port in PPC's docking station, but when I plug GPS in
it doesn't recognise it (obviously) and asking for device name.
Garmin doesn't have Pocket PC drivers for this GPS. I tried driver pharos is
using (Prolific or sometihng), but coudn't get that to work since I don't
know what Prolific device name would be.

Any help would be appriciated. I love this Garmin GPS, but need to use it
with PPC.

Thanks.

Sorry, forgot to mention - Garmin DOES NOT make PPC drivers for this GPS
unit.

That's why I'm here, trying to figure out if I can get it to work.

Thanks.

I don't think this is what I'm looing for. This software lets other GPS
software use Garmin USB protocol.
I'll look further into this, but I think I need a PPC driver anyway. Thanks

ICBW but I think GPSGate effectively does away with the need for drivers
to be installed, and converts the non-standard Garmin data strings into
something non-Garmin apps can use via a fake serial port.
