Download Windows USB Serial Driver
The driver is provided in a .zip archive which you will need to unpack into a temporary folder. Then run InstallDriver.exe
The driver may also be obtained by installing the software supplied on the mini-CD with your GPS, or from the QStarz download page.

Note: As from macOS Big Sur (11), we are no longer able to recommend a driver for connecting QStarz loggers.
