It's not free but bluechart might work. it uses a serial interface. what are you trying to do with the software?

snapp i have a standard horizon cp180 - Great little gps - colour.

The only problem i have is it sometimes drops out for a miniute at certain places - It could be my installation of the gps antena. (it's under the canopy on the dash, next to the gps). Mite bring it outside.

I brought mine from oversea's
