Autoroute / Mappoint should work although some USB ones don't and you need the serial one, depends on the version. I think the newer stuff should be OK.
You need VisualGPSXP as well for track day logging.

Yeah cheers Ian that came with it!
Its a new model so has 16 channels.
Used a proper garmin before but dont have the money.
Took it out for a test run and was pretty impressed, even in the centre of sweansea it had a very good signal.
Went round the roundabout about 20 times plotting a trail.

The usb ones are actually serial, the usb is just an adapter to fit modern laptops etc.
