What do you mean disconnect the GPS wire?
The RandMcNally has a PS2 connection for power and a RS-232 connection for data to the serial port.

The RandMcNally is serial port and the PC doesn't know if it's connected or not like a USB GPS.
I don't see how it would change the registry if you unplugged the unit. Maybe if it was USB, then I could see...

I have to check my new BU355 via USB and see if that changed the registry entry back.
