+Woody's Wanderers Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Got a Garmin eTrex Legend. As you probably know, it comes with a 9 pin connector to connect with the PC. Does anyone know if I can get a USB cable instead? (My laptop doesn't have a 9 pin connector!) If so, where can I get one from that is reliable? I'm not a PC expert, so forgive me if this is a simple query! Thanks! Quote

+t.a.folk Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 £7.99 + delivery Not sure if anyone else has had the same response as me. Every time I open the link, my AV spots a Trojan "Sos3D2.tmp -- Exploit-obscured.html". My AV is McAfee Enterprise 7.1 Quote

Does anyone know if I can get a USB cable instead? (My laptop doesn't have a 9 pin connector!) If so, where can I get one from that is reliable? I have just got one off ebay for £7.50 including postage, so dont despair. My laptop needs one too. They are also available for around the £10 to £15 mark on ebay. Hope this helps....Red Squadron (John & Ann) Quote
