Bought a Garmin E trex from the [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-garmin-etrex-with-manual ]classifieds[/url] , Can anyone tell me what data cable I need . ?
Many Thanks...
It's Garmin specific and you'll need a serial to USB converter as well unless you have a pc with a serial port. You can get copies on Fleabay etc. Search for Etrex H cable.
That looks the same as mine, which takes a standard mini usb cable. Got my last one off ebay,

Yep, I've some cobbled connection with a serial converter - still using it though otherwise I might sell it 🙂
mine's an original eTrex (yellow) - no fancy H..
Is it a funny square block with 4 copper contacts?
Aye it is, and you can get them cheapo on eBay, again mine has a bodge to USB extra bit.
I too have eTrex, not the fancy pants posh one(s).
You paid 2.5 times what I did... 😉

No it's not. It's the thing Druidh so eloquently describes.
I have literally just binned one of these, now sitting in a bin bag in my back garden. As above it is serial so need a USB to serial adapter unless you have an old pc.
Yours for cost of p+p if you want?
I have a cable AND a serial-USB adapter
£10 to the STW Classifieds "Buy us a pint" fund and it's all yours.
Druidh , Ill take It . Its the one you described with the 4 contacts . Can I paypal you tomorrow Or as Im local I can try and meet you to pick It up.
Unless you are likely to be in the Balerno area soon, just send me an address and I'll post it out to you - that'll probably be quicker!
BTW - don't paypal me - go to the Classified section and donate!
Cool will message you when I've paid and give you my address. 😀
Just donated and sent you a message Druidh.
