If it is the USB version, it doesn't put out NMEA. You can use it only
on a PC in a mapping program that talks Garmin binary such as Garmin
MapSource. If you need NMEA on the PC, you can download the Garmin
"Spanner" program. It will still only connect to a USB port on a PC, but
you could then use it in e.g. UI-View.
