fyi... I've tried this very thing with an Earthmate usb GPS and ended up paying alot more for converters/serial/nullmodem/serial/cables etc
and NEVER was able to get it to work.

I ended up selling the GPS on Ebay for almost as much as I paid for it and turned around and bought a Deluo GPS and cable that works with the laptop AND another to work with my Axim and ended up paying less than I did with the USB converter cable scenario.

Hope that helps,
Dennis
