Garmin Etrex H to pc connection

[+Cacher_Penguin]

Hi,

 

I have also posted this in the carboot sale section, but appears no one used it in a little while.

 

I have received a gtrex H for christmas, and would like to beable to connect it to my netbook to transfer coordinates rather than doing it manually.

 

If anyone has one they no longer need/require, would i be able to purchase/have it from you as i cant afford full price from garmin

Don't get one from Garmin, you can get a cable with USB converted built in for less than £15 off ebay

I don't have an eBay account, not since mine got hacked a few years back

Snap! I got one for Xmas too. The missus had purchased one of the Garmin GPSr>Serial leads, but unfortunately I don't have a serial port on any of my PCs. Couple of quid for an adapter from the local nerdbox later I rekon!

If you're any good with a soldering iron you can make a Garmin serial connector to go on the end of a regular serial cable, there are several pages on the web showing you how to do it, use that in conjunction with a USB-Serial converter and you're done, should be able to do it all for under a fiver.
