    Laptop query

    Will the "moving map" work with a laptop and
    a Garmin GPS72 attached to it? :?: :?:

    I ask as it would be a waste of money buying the data cable

    I have sold my boat and rather than flog the GPS reciever on Ebay
    I thought it could be used in this scenario

    Any comments please...........

    I think that this is a question for the www.gpsaustralia.net forum

    The answer is yes.

    However if the laptop has no serial port you will need a serial to usb converter, around $30.
