GARMIN GPSMAP 296 DATA CABLE
Pros: easy to wire up and install. Cons: plug was straight while original was 90 degrees.
The part arrived in a timely fashion and was a Garmin OEM part in a Garmin box. I used the cable to transmit groundspeed data to a fuel flow computer in a home-built biplane. I now have fuel burn to destination, mileage, and fuel reserve at destination (or any other location entered into the GPS). I had a little clearance problem with the straight plug, but it ended up working perfectly in my application.

PRACTICAL
Pros: fast delivery Cons: thought it was a 90° connector, probably my fault
I use the cable on my sailing boat, interconnecting instruments, log, depth, watertemp, AIS receiver and laptop. The old cable (90°) had given up after 5 years of intensive use.

EXCELLENT CABLE
Pros: easy and fast cable conversion Cons: none
With 9 colour coded wires within the cable and the appropriate drawing, it makes it so easy to solder a DB9 port series plug in order to use the computer as an extension of the GPS

POWER TO GPS
Pros: no need to worry about a dead battery
I use the power cable in my boat and snowmachine, need not worry about having to change the battery on your GPS, use my GPS with the battey of the GPS off, use the battery of the boat and snow machine.
