+LandRocket Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Please forgive me. I know there may be archives, however I was not able to get them to work for me. I'm looking for a procuct software/cable that would allow me to dump my data to/from a Garmin 60cs to a Palm Zire. **That is directly w/o the need for a computer. I have registered copies of Cachemate and GSAK.** Is there such a thing? Thanks for the bandwidth LandRocket Edited January 9, 2006 by LandRocket Quote Link to comment
rynd Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I think the answer to your question is no, but I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable will answer. Quote Link to comment
CenTexDodger Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I think there is a cable out there that will connect a palm (not sure of the model) to the serial port of a 60cs. Do a google search for-palm garmin cable-and see what you come up with. Quote Link to comment
rickertk Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Does the PDA in question have only a USB connection, or does it have a different connector? Most of the Zire models only have USB, and you're not going to be able to connect those to a GPS directly with a simple solution. CenTexDodger's link lists the Zire 71 as one (which I also seem to remember) has a connector which can be made to communicate with a serial port. If you have that model, you're set.

+Team Canuck Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I just ordered a cable to link my 60CS to my zire 71. I should have it this week. I will advise on success. I will post the source. I had a similar thread asking much the same about two weeks ago....not that you can search or anything! Cheers Jeff Quote Link to comment
+I.R. Geonut Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Wouldn't it be great if there was a Blue Tooth connection between your PDA and GPS? I have been pondering that for a while now. I should throw a patent on the idea although, it was probably too late yesterday. Quote Link to comment
+Night Stalker Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Is there something that would connect a Pocket PC to a 60CS along with a file transfer protocol. I could see times where that would be convenient for transferring files. Quote Link to comment
