bignoseduglyguy Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Could anyone please point me to a good source (other than Garmin?) for a cable to connect my eTrex to a PC (USB or serial)? Likewise, the software I need to get waypoints onto my GPS? Have looked around a little but would appreciate some guidance from those more experienced. bignoseduglyguy growing old in mandatory growing up is optional www.bignoseduglyguy.com Quote Link to comment

+kennamatic Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I tend to get my stuff from GPS Warehouse although I can't tell you whether they are the best value or not. I have one of the cables that connects both the laptop to the gps and also plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car which certainly saves on the batteries for the e-trex. I agree with Big Nick on the EasyGPS software. So simple even I can use it, and believe me that's saying something. Finding your caches - Losing my marbles. Quote Link to comment
+Team Paradise Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Lynx Cables UK. Cable 'eD1' for just data or cable 'eCombo or eMax' for power and data. I got an 'eD1' from them and it works great, delivered the next day. Steve If you can see the 'light at the end of the tunnel', it's usually a train coming ! Quote Link to comment
Spooks Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I can also agree with Team Paradise, for 12.95 the lynks cables eD1 is great value compared to the official Garmin ones. Had it for about a year now, works perfectly. Quote Link to comment
