Default downloading a gps20 without a serial port

This probably only applies to a small niche (and won't answer your question,
Ted), but I recently had to figure how to use a USB-to-Serial adapter in
order to connect a PowerBook (yes, that's a Macintosh) to an SN10B, and a
Volkslogger. I also use it to ActiveSync my PDA.

The hard part was getting the USB-to-Serial adapter to work with Virtual PC,
but I've broken the code on that.

If anybody is interested, let me know via the newsgroup.

For the record, I'm not interested in any Mac vs PC discussions, since I've
already made up my mind on that.

purchased a USB - serial converter cable but Cambridge Aero Explorer
can't seem to connect to the GPS 20. Anybody have a work around for
this problem? Just want to download waypoints and upload flights.
