Compatible with Garmin Geko 201 and eTrex GPS
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.

Does it's job
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.

Why why why do Garmin still insist on serial!!!
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!
