I would like to use my portable GPS from Pharos.
It is a iGPS-500 GPS that you can find with Microsoft Street&Trips 2008.
I use a USB dongle.
I am looking for a way to make it work with Vistastumbler.

Re: Using Pharos GPS-500 USB
I am using the same GPS ahd a little bit of a 'vistumble' finding the right Comm Port, but I went to Control Panel>Device manager>Com and LPT devices and found it. In my case , was comm 8. Works like a charm
