It's cheap and it works October 18, 2008
Dustin Spaulding (Albuquerque, NM)
In the spirit of another review I read on Amazon recently, I'm going to make this as succinct as possible:
"Me buy this cable. Me plug cable into computer and eTrex. Me move new firmware from computer to eTrex. New firmware work good. Me happy."
It's cheap but of good quality. I'm not worried about it falling apart. I heartily recommend this cable.
It Works September 16, 2008

I bought this cable along with a "USB to Serial DB9 (RS232) Adapter Cable (Garmin compatible)" from the same seller, Navsphere, to use with an Etrex and a very nice Mac app called GPSNavX. Taken together, the two cables are rather bulky - a straight Garmin-to-USB cable would be a preferable alternative, but that doesn't exist, so with that mild reservation, I'm happy. Navsphere was quick and fuss-free to deal with, so the whole experience has been positive.
Good cable, low price September 2, 2008

I use this cable to download information from my garmin e-trex, and I use trackmaker fot it, they works fine together.
Works great - tight going on and off August 30, 2008
D. Kronstadt (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I bought this to use with my Garmin Geko 201 - works great with a USB to serial adapter, and Garmin's Mapsource software. I do occasionally have to reboot my PC to get it to get everything to work - but I think that's just windows, or the usb/serial adapter's drivers - not the cable.
It is a little tight going on and off the GPS - the official Garmin cable may be tight as well - just make sure you push it on all the way when using it. And - my Geko 201 has a little rubber flap that protects the contacts - I accidently ripped it off the very first time I was removing this cable! Dumb! My fault - not the cable's - maybe Garmin's for not providing a better cover - but I was able to re-attach the rubber flap with some electrical tape.
Anyway, the cable works great.
As good than the original... April 11, 2007

| Worthwhile Reading | Reduce Gas Costs by Driving More Efficiently with GPS
By Jeremy Lakota
Whether the current cost of gasoline is affordable or astronomical, providing yourself or someone you love the assistance of a car GPS unit helps in many ways. Especially as both a wantonly punctual driver and consumer of motor fuel, the cost of which fluctuates quite regularly into very expensive. Our driving habits can help offset this cost.
Even for motorists who are filling up their tanks just weekly, adding a GPS device to even common commutes can show most efficient routes. Those that can save a great deal of gas because they are driven most days. A couple miles can really add up over the course of a work week. With any route that focuses more on town or city roads instead of highways, the small loss of engine efficiency should be considered, too. Especially for trips over eighty miles.
When buying a car GPS, it is important to look for ease-of-use features like touch screen display and voice activation. These common, but not universal, features provide an overall better experience. A large number of GPS owners who have been using car GPS for several years are repurchasing their GPS device or upgrading their GPS experience with new devices from companies like Garmin, TomTom, Magellan, Mio, and SureShot (a golf GPS device!).
For travelers who travel a lot or go to new locations often, using the most fuel-efficient route over a year can balance out the cost of a new car GPS device. A lot of the popular units go for between $200 and $500. And, if you want the overall best experience, you can get top-of-the-line for a mere starting price of around $600. With one of these you can be the envy of all your friends that have car GPS, too. Click here to see some great car GPS devices available now.
