User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars garmin serial port
Does what it’s supposed to do. It’ds much slower than USB, but I have an older GPS unit.
5 Stars Good Cable
Good little cable.
Don’t worry about the people who complained about the price.
If you can use it, buy it.
And you will be glad you have it.
5 Stars Perfect mate for Google Earth.
Perhaps is a expensive cable, specially if you don’t earn dollars, but it is perfect to complete Google Earth software.
I tried it in my contry, Costa Rica, and I am very happy with the results.
3 Stars Old Technology Well Done
The cable works as it should. Just be careful to note that this needs a Serial port connection at your computer. My laptop on which I made my map and waypoints doesn’t have one, only USB connections. Luckily I have an older desktop with a serial port and transferred my work there to download it to the eTrex. I’ve heard of a serial-to-USB converter cable, that would allow you to connect to a USB port, but I’ve had no experience with one.
5 Stars Garmin Etrex Serial Connection
Product slides into place quickly and works exactly as described. Cable is long enough to conveniently use the GPS real time with a mobile computer.
