Download Windows Mobile Device Center Windows 7 Professional

Hello I am trying to connect my GPS unit to my computer to import data points. I need Windows Mobile Device Center to connect the unit to my computer. Is WMDC still supported on Windows 7 Professional?

AFAIK, Microsoft stopped supporting Windows Mobile Device Center after Vista.  At one point, it was supposed to be compatible with Windows 7, but later versions of the support article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931937), mention only Vista.  See, for example, this version from 2011:  https://web.archive.org/web/20110317015646/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931937 compared to the current version.

On the other hand, as with many Windows 7 resources, Microsoft has "retired" the Windows Mobile Device Center and the Microsoft download links are no longer active.

It does seem to be available from third-party sites.  Although I generally do not recommend downloading Microsoft software from third-party sites, this one seems likely to be reliable, even though the site doesn't seem to have been written by someone whose first language is English:  https://support.honeywellaidc.com/s/article/From-where-to-download-the-Windows-Mobile-Device-Center

You might check in the support forum for your GPS device and see if there is some other software that you can use instead of WMDC.
