East Central Arkansas | I just purchased a USB to serial converter to use on a laptop for a gps and so far have not been able to make it work. I purchased this from a internet company SF cables and their tech support didn't seem to have time to talk to a country boy and suggested I just send it back. I am sure by the time I sent it back I would still come out in the hole for shipping. Enough complaining. Can anyone give some suggestions . I have installed the drivers on the laptop. This laptop has three different usb ports. Should it make any difference which port I use. How do I find which port is which? I have Farm Works Site Mate installed on the laptop and in the configure section in gps settings under the com settings You can select different port settings . Which com port should you use. With the Ipaq I use com 1 and I also hooked the Holux 210 to the desktop and got gps on com 1. It seems that this cable is not allowing connection through it. Is there any special settings I need to make in the laptop. | |
