If I'm understanding the specs from Garmin correctly, the 76s are serial only with NMEA 0183 - if you want USB you are in Garmin proprietary territory.

Ergo, this appears NOT to be the...

Hi, it's me, the OP, clawing my way up from the profound depths of ignorance of which each successive post is a vivid reminder! Ouch!
