Nikkai Usb Serial Driver

I have just purchased a GARMIN ETREX H. The package included a cable to connect the unit to a serial port. My laptop does not have a serial so I purchased a serial to USB adapter cable I have downloaded and installed the GARMIN USB drivers but I am unable to connect the unit to the laptop so that I can download co-ordinates from geocaching. Can anybody help? The USBserial adapter makes your USB connection look like a serial port, it doesn't make your serial device look like a USB device, therefore you don't want to use the USB drivers you want to use the ETREX in serial mode, that's the theory but I'm not sure of the exect how-to as I've never done it.

I bought the adaptor from Novatech and it came with a driver on CD. Installed it (on Vista) and it creates a 'virtual' serial port - in this case port 6. That's what you need to end up with, a serial port number.

Assuming you have the correct drivers installed: With your device plugged into a USB port, Open Device Manager in windows Control Panel. Select Ports (COM & LPT) by clicking on the [+] on the left, You should see your adaptor listed if it is installed correctly, right click on it and select properties. Choose the Port Settings tab and click on the advanced button. At the bottom of the window, click the dropdown list to the right of COM Port Number and choose a free comport. Click OK twice and then close Device Manager Your Comport should now be the number you chose. This should also work in Windows XP too.

The problem is most of these USB serial leads use fake chips emulating prolific PL2303 chip and in recent versions of the driver software they are blocked deliberately. Solution is to google PL2303 old version and install PL2303_Prolific_GPS_109.exe. Worked for me anyway.
