apologies as I'm slightly confused ..am I correct in thinking that the satandard cable ends in a serial port connector then you need another cable from serial port to usb?
any links to the cheapest efficient option would be much appreciated!!
thanks

What happened to the cable that came with it? Old models used a serial port connection. Newer ones have a cable that is USB on one end and plugs directly in to the eTrex on the other. I think the eTrex end is standard to, used on a lot of cameras.
Beware, the USB to RS232 adaptors don't all work. I bought one off Fleabay and was dissapointed.
I bought one of [url= http://www.usbnow.co.uk/Adapters_&_Connectors-USB_to_RS-232_Cables/c42_48/p47/USB_2.0_to_RS232_Adaptor_+_1M_Cable/product_info.html ]these[/url] a couple of days ago and it works like a charm with the Etrex.

The Etrex H is Garmin proprietry to RS232 and doesn't come c/w a cable. Legend, Vista etc are USB and do.
