Negative Positive
Title: Poorly supported and not reccommended.
Review: I want to use my GPS with my computer. I don't have a serial port, so I bought this converter based on other people saying they had purchased it for use with a GPS. The description here gives no OS limitations. The cable showed up and said that it was only for Windows. I decided to give it a try anyway. My FreeBSD box seemed to recognize it, but my ibook didn't. I have GPS software for the ibook, not for FreeBSD. A quick search of google turned up pages talking about this cable and its poor support. There used to be mac drivers, but not anymore. All the links to support pages for both the company that made the cable and the company that made the embedded chip were dead links. I eventually found a site with drivers for the embedded chip and installed them. My GPS software then saw the usb serial connection, but all attempts to communicate with the GPS produced an error.I suggest avoiding this cable, and this company, at all costs.
Is the review positive or negative?
