You may have to register before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. In fact the closest to instructions are: "Simply connect serial port to your notebook PC or PDA and PS/2 connector to the pc, or PDA PS/2 port." The floppy disk contains USB drivers for Windows 98/ME and Windows 2000. The receiver is also claimed to be waterproof. Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search for the words HTTP and 405.

The receiver also comes with SBAS (WAAS/EGNOS) for additional positional accuracy.
I recently bought a 60c myself. Works pretty well even though it's not obviously designed by someone unfamiliar with the OS X way of programming. This I wanted to use with some marine navigation software with my laptop down in the cabin. All I want to do is save tracks and waypoints on my GPS receiver (Garmin GPSMap 60CS), then transfer them onto my Mac to use them in the National Geographic TOPO software. I have no idea why neither Garmin or Magellan do not support OS X. It works with my Garmin Vista C! This is the only way I know to download Garmin software and detail maps to the USB devices. There is an onboard battery which is charged whilst powered which maintains the receivers internal GPS clock and memory.
