Garmin USB Data Cables!

 GPS Warehouse have started shipping some new data cables for Garmin handheld GPS Receivers. A data cable isn't new, Garmin supply most of their handhelds with a 9-pin serial data cable, but what's different about these, is they're USB!!!
Garmin only ship USB cables with their most recent GPS Receivers, all legacy GPS Receivers including current models like eTrex, GPSMap etc only come with a serial 9-pin cable, so that means you then have to purchase a serial to USB adapter, and these can be a nightmare, some don't work with certain PC's, other's don't work with certain applications (like the Belkin ones), a complete nightmare. Not anymore!
Cables are available for the:-
- eTrex Series
- Geko Series
- eMap Series
- GPS II/II+, III/III+, Pilot
- GPS V, 12, 12XL, 38, 40, 45, 45XL, 48
- Street Pilot/Street Pilot III/Street Pilot III Deluxe
What's more, they come in two flavours, one for data and one with power so you can power the handheld when at the desk or when in-car. You'll still be stuck with Garmin's Serial speeds using a USB cable, but most new PC's and laptops don't come equipped with a Serial port, so using one of these native cables will be a whole lot easier!
