Great Small GPS, but PC Cable is behind the times

I've been using the eTrex for about 2 months.All GPS functions work marvelously.However, the PC cable is a 9 pin female serial connector.I haven't had a computer with this kind of connector for over 7 years.Since I wanted to download my datapoints to a navigation program, I bought a "Serial to USB" connector from Radio Shack for $40.After installing the connector's software, my laptop recognized the connector cable, but not the eTrex connected to it.Best bet is probably to go with the Garmin cable...

Best entry level deal available

I used this GPS all summer.First borrowed from a friend for a couple months and then decided to get exactly same one of my own.My friend had his one for a while (i think two years) and recommended this eTrex Legend to me.This GPS is not the best value or latest technology (check out the new "Cx" version of this eTrex Legend. note: "Cx" not the discontinued "C"), but eTrex Legend is the best one for the money, of you don't care for color screen and lots of memory for your maps.It is reliable and...
