JonathanDaddy Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I just got a Garmin Nuvi 30. Can anyone tell me if I can geocach with this? There is not any cords to attache to a computer. I am thinking I can not use it. I would like some help before I return it. Thanks, JonathanDaddy Quote Link to comment

+The A-Team Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 There is not any cords to attache to a computer. As far as I can tell from some Googling, the Nuvi 30 uses a standard mini-USB connector. Odds are you've already got such a cable lying around your home for use with a tablet, phone, camera, etc. You can use the same cable for the Nuvi. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 FWIW, most new phones use a micro USB connector. The last time I got a phone with a mini USB connector was several years ago. Quote Link to comment
+Mart9012 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I used a Nuvi 200 for ages before I used my smartphone. You can import .gpx files but it displays the GC number (which is enough of course). It was pretty sensitive although battery life is a bit short. Connectors are mini USB, not so common but available. Quote Link to comment

I've been using the process in the link with a NUVI 360 for a number of years and now am using it with a NUVI 2595 and it works good. I have found that the NUVI is a little hard to use at the cache site and usually use it for the web pages and routing to the cache then use my old GPS V to navigate to the cache. One of these days I'll get an Oregon which should handle both jobs. Quote Link to comment
