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.

My understanding is that the GPS 18 is a USB client and your PPC is a
USB client whereas one device needs to be a USB host.
