On their site for the Earthmate they say on the lefthand side, that they are out of stock of the USB cable until November 15th.

You can buy it right from that site. Look toward the top left of the screen where you see add to basket. Above that is a drop down where you can select the item you want then add it to your basket and go from there.

CDW has this adapter for about $30. Make sure you get the proper serial connector (male or female)

interesting ..thanks for the heads up....delorme says not to use any other connector..only theirs....duh from a marketing perspective...i know why....but do you think it will work just as fine?

 

thanks

I tried another USB/Serial connection and the GPS did not work. You will need to get the Delorme one, one side benifet is that it also provides power to the GPS. No need for batteries or an 12v connection.
