+Krusers Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 What do I do? I recently purchased a new computer and I no longer have the correct data cable. It is a 9 pin connection cable. Is there an adapter that connects into a USB port? Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Check radio shack or your local best buy/circuit city or maybe even china-mart...ummm I mean Wal-mart Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Yes they do make them. The bad part is even though you now have USB your download rate will still be that of a serial port connection, about 9600 baud. El Diablo Quote Link to comment
+evelbug Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 What you need is a serial->USB converter. Radio Shack or any computer store should have these. Quote Link to comment

Is there an adapter that connects into a USB port? Want to connect your GPS to your PC but don't have a 9-pin serial port connection? This cable will get you hooked. Using this converter cable and the PC interface cable for your unit, you can transfer maps, waypoints, routes and tracks between MapSource and your GPS.

El Diablo Yes - and this is my only complaint with the Garmin eTrex Vista. Quote Link to comment
