    Why on earth do Garmin insist in this day and age on using serial connectors? There isn't one on my laptop and I have been forced to get a USB adapter. (The Targus one is pretty good). But since Garmin have the corner of this market you have to buy this to link your GPS. And to be honest it is good when you can link your GPS to your laptop. Instant moving map!

    This lead is compatible with a Garmin Geko 201/301, eMap and eTrex GPS.
    It plugs into an old style serial COM port on your PC.

    If you only have USB ports on your PC you need to also buy a
    USB to RS232 adapter cable.

    I thought the description on this site was very ambiguous.
    But they do list the manufacturers part number which
    you can look up on the Garmin Web site.

    It's fun to upload your routes to Google Earth Plus.

    I am using this with a Targus USB converter that I also bought from Amazon - shame Garmin can't make a single cable and save us all a bit of cash!

    Had a few problems getting started - the FAQ section of the Garmin website pointed me in the right direction. To find the USB to serial converter cable, you might need to look in the "System" part of Windows "Control Panel" (found from "Settings" in the "Start" menu). Have a look on the Hardware tab at the Device Manager and you will be able to find which COM port the cable has been assigned. You can then tell whatever map software you're using where to find the GPS.

    Why can't this cable be a bit cheaper, it's half the cost again of my Geko unit. This doesn't make sense.

    Contacts could be better. Half the time I plug it in the computer is telling me that their is no GPS attached until I wiggle the unit and try again.

    The cable does it's job, simply enabling the cool stuff that the GPS and software can do.

    This is a piece of kit I did not want to have to think about. The fact I have to either connect via a home-docking station or a usb-3rd party connector is annoying.

    If that was not bad enough it is expensive!.

    This is a rip-off and would cause be to avoid the product if it was not for the fact that Garmin make the best GPS.

    Grrrrrr.
