Look at back of computer it will probably have a hole for printer (this will be a 25 pin) a modem slot (usually a small square hole) a serial port ( 9pin port) and maybe usb port (thin rectangular hole). Are we talking a PC or Laptop here?

Thanks for the responces felles . The only serial port i can see ( 9 pin ) is where the modem is pluged in, thats why it takes so long to reply , i have tto get off the net to to chang plugs to try anthing .We are talking PC .Ive even had a responce from Oziexporer , tryed what said ,did,nt work eather . Im now at a complet loss what to do next .Why go overseas when you can ExplorOz

If you are getting the message "GPS transfer stopped at user request" that would tend to make me think you actually are getting a connection between the GPS and computer.
Have you read the 'help' file on Ozi?
Suggest you disconnect the external modem (I suspect thats what you are using judging your explaination of which ports you have on yr PC) hook up the gps REBOOT puter and try again.
Once all is back up and running. Go to the GPS button on Ozi (top of page right hand side of list of buttons) and download yr waypoints from GPS to PC and watch the little 'transfer progress' button that will pop up near the bottom of the Ozi page and read what it says.
If all going well it will show the waypoints loading up. From memory it shows the total number of waypoints available and the number that have been loaded.

Now i know who Big John is ! Gumby rubber truck was good while it lasted , this one is better .

Sounds like a laptop with 1 9 pin serial port and he's got an external modem connected to it

Errol, suggest you plug it in where the modem goes and give it a reboot.Hooroo

Well, seling the 80 for a Nissan is a brave step. Better take lots of welding rods for the Canning.
