I am running 2 diffferent programs on my laptop that require a GPS to be connected. The first one is C0Pilot that has the GPS connected by USB. The second program is Nobeltec a marine navigation program. This program is searching for a GPS connected to a COM port. If I use a Serial to USB adapter cable should I then be able to use the CoPilot GPS with Nobeltec? If not I have another GPS card made by ETAK that worked in my old laptop but doesn't fit my new Dell Laptop. Is there an adapter available for this card?

Thanks,
Phil
