RE: [A/S] GPS Use
Have a look at the " GPS Update and COM Port Emulation Drivers for the USB
Earthmate GPS Receiver" entry on page:
http://www.delorme.com/support/results.asp?Q=d&C=19&P=17111
That driver set "provides an option to install COM Port Emulation Drivers
for use with the USB Earthmate GPS receiver ".
May be what you need. Typically, this kind of emulation provides a
"software interconnection" between a device on a USB port and software that
expects to find it on a COM port. Delorme claims the Earthmate is true
NMEA-compliant, so it should work with generic software once you provide
the proper "interconnections".
