My new laptop does not have a serial port for connecting to my Cambridge
GPS.
What are the best options?
USB to Serial - I hear of those not working.
PCMCIA to Serial - Is this an option.
Any advice appreciated.

I've got a Belkin USB to serial converter, it works OK with my Garmin 12XL
with things like Waypoint+, Auotroute, Lxe and Seeyou but I can't get EWview
to work at all with my logger.

Try the free EW Windows uploader available from:

Although I have not tried it using a USB Serial Converter, when used
with serial ports it overcomes the shortcomings of EWVIEW (DOS &
Windows). I would be interested to hear how it works with a USB
converter.
