| I currently have several Garmin units, mainly Etrex-H and
Venture and I find I must agree with the seemingly general
consensus that these are an excellent, friendly and
intuitive unit to use, but the serial data cable is
ridiculous. You have to go to USB and when you do I can
guarantee at least some sales... | |

| Cannot believe that any company would use a 9 pin
serial port connector for data transfer this day
and age. I would think Garmin would be using up to
date technology and thus have a USB cable for
this. My computer doesn't even have a 9 pin serial
port on it and it's two years old. What a letdown!! | |

| We are currently using approx 60 Garmin ETrex with 10 of these cables. The cables work well and are easy to use, however in a classroom situation with constant use and the bulk of the use with first time users they are standing up t heavy use. The end of the cable that makes contact with the GPS is quite thin plastic and most of the 10 cables have been damaged from students trying to force the connection. When the plastic edges get damaged, contact isn't great and the data transfer is often interrupted. A USB connection rather than a serial port would also be an improvement for us since the cables see heavy use in computer labs where all serial ports are on the back of the computer and inaccessible. Most computers now have USB ports up front and easy to access.
In short, the cables work great but are inconvenient and don't stand up to heavy use. | |
