I use GPS2Blue which is a free app that can transfer the signal via BT or over your cable using a virtual serial port. I have mine set up to transfer the GPS data to the virtual port and then use Streets and Trips on my laptop. Works like a charm.

Virtual Serial Port (takes a little reading to get the settings correct, but good tutorial on the site): http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html

Why would you want to do this instead of just using your phone?
