GPS SERIAL TO USB CABLE

After not being able to download waypoints to my ( no serial port ) computer I was nervous as to how I was going to be able to access this information. This cable was a lifesaver, my wife thought I'd been stung by a bumblebee when I screamed as all of the waypoints began importing -- just like before in the 'good ole days.'

Pros: easy to connect to computer
Cons: cable could be shorter
Recommend: YES

OBSOLETE DRIVER FOR MACINTOSH COMPUTER

The (mini) CD that was shipped with the unit contained the drivers both for PC and Macintosh. However, the MC driver can only be read with the old system 9 ("Classic"). I wrote Support for an updtated driver weeks ago and I am still waiting for a reply. In the meantime, the unit is useless.

Pros: ordered by telephone. received the next day.
Cons: obsolete driver for macintosh
Recommend: NO

DOES NOT WORK WITH MAC

The GPS-City webpage for this device includes a link to Mac instructions. This is misleading as the device is not compatible with Mac. The device sold by GPS City is a Tripp-Lite U209-000-R. I contacted Tripp-Lite directly and this is their response:

Dear Steven,

Thank you for your recent inquiry.

At this time we do not have any drivers available for our U209-000-R that will allow the device to be used on Mac systems.

Unfortunately we cannot provide the specific chip sets used on our products since they are proprietary and unable to be disclosed.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you for choosing Tripp Lite!

I have since purchased a Keyspan Adaptor model: USA-19HS, and it works fine with Mac OSX. I am able to load my Garmin eTrex data directly into Google Earth. The Keyspan adaptor comes with Windows, Mac, and Linux drivers on a standard size CD. Interestingly, the Keyspan is manufactured by Tripp-Lite.

I suggest that GPS City add a clear statement that the device they offer (U209-000-R) is Windows only.

Steven
