    I have an older Garmin GPS unit that I use with a serial connection for uploading/downloading data. I have no experience with USB to serial adapters. Will this work with the M1210? If so is there a specific/preferred adapter to obtain?

    Thank you.

    Theres no reason why it wouldnt work. Just go to your local radio shack/best buy/circut city/etc and pick one up. Theres no reason why it wouldnt work on the 1210.
