Fat Cat, July 30, 2010
It took two emails to resolve installing the drivers for this device. #1 Consult the Windows Device Manager regarding installation of the Tripp Lite U209-000-R. The U209-000-R adaptor is installed correctly when it is listed and assigned as a COM port. If the U209-000-R adaptor is not installed correctly, you should see a yellow exclamation mark next to the device indicating it is not working properly. At that point, update the driver, and point the installer to the driver which you downloaded. #2There is no install program for the drivers. The easiest way to get it to work will be to create a new folder that you can save the drivers into and then when you go to add the hardware and it asks for the drivers, you would just select the folder you saved them to and it will install them from there. I went to their web site and downloaded updated drivers. Works OK now but was frustrating because the disk supplied has no setup.exe to install.

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! TechSupport@TrippLite.com www.TrippLite.com Phone: 773-869-1233 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

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.

I bought an adapter before and it didn't work at all, therefore with our new computer we couldn't use our gps with the serial port, i decided to try this one, plugged it in and tadahhhhh it works like a charm !!!!
