Yes, if your GPS uses a USB connection, when it is plugged in it should be connected via a virtual COM port and still use serial communications for data transfer (providing the manufacturer provides the correct drivers, you may need to download the appropriate driver from the manufacturer). See the WirelessMon help file for more information and how to determine which COM port the USB device is attached too.

From version 4, WirelessMon supports Garmin GPS devices via USB connection (for example the Garmin GPS20x). For other manufacturers, if your GPS uses a USB connection, when it is plugged in it should be connected via a virtual COM port and still use serial communications for data transfer (providing the manufacturer provides the correct drivers, you may need to download the appropriate driver from the manufacturer). See the WirelessMon help file for more information and how to determine which COM port the USB device is attached too.
