sorry, i really don't have any experience w/ USB GPS's, and i've been using them almost exclusively on pocketpc's, not desktops.
doesn't windows just give you a virtual com port to open when you use a USB GPS?
btw, another of my sapphires is suddenly having problems (this is the 4th one w/ problems) getting a quick fix even after being unplugged for a short period. i'm beginning to suspect that the problem is caused by failure of the backup battery rather than by prolonged heat exposure.
i'll look into it when i have more time and let you guys know what's up w/ that.
