3.0 out of 5 stars
Compatible with Garmin Geko 201 and eTrex GPS,
By MartinJ (England UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin PC interface cable (RS232 serial port connector) - not applicable to Geko 101 (Accessory)
This lead is compatible with a Garmin Geko 201/301, eMap and eTrex GPS.It plugs into an old style serial COM port on your PC. If you only have USB ports on your PC you need to also buy a USB to RS232 adapter cable. I thought the description on this site was very ambiguous. But they do list the manufacturers part number which you can look up on the Garmin Web site. It's fun to upload your routes to Google Earth Plus.

It does what it does!,
This review is from: Garmin PC interface cable (RS232 serial port connector) - not applicable to Geko 101 (Accessory)
This cable does what it say's - its a serial PC interface cable. Plugs into the 9way 'D' serial connector on the back of your PC (if you still have one!), and connects snuggly to the back of the Garmin GPS (I own a Garmin eTrek H - and it fits fine, without moving around). Once the cable is connected you can download waypoints etc to the GPS, or update the GPS firmware (recommended) etc. NB. This cable does NOT come with any software, if you use the GPS for Geocaching, then you can download waypoints using this cable via the Geocaching website and the Internet explorer plug-in (no software required). :-)

Problematic,
By dlzbub (Hertfordshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin PC interface cable (RS232 serial port connector) - not applicable to Geko 101 (Accessory)
I had problems with my cable but in all honesty wasn't sure if it was this half (GPS TO SERIAL PORT) of the cable or the other half of the cable (USB TO SERIAL PORT) that was at fault.Downloading was hit and miss, sometimes it would work, other times it said it couldn't find the GPS. It even slipped out of its connection at the GPS end on several occasions. Wiggling the two halfs of the serial connectors together seemed to fix the problem each time the message appeared 'unable to find GPS', but I soon became very annoyed with this and decided to send both halves back. In the end I settled for a one piece cable (not available on this site - see comments) which works perfectly and was cheaper too.
