Hi everyone, I joined this list hoping to get some advice about what cable to use with my Garmin device. You see, I own Macintosh computers and I'm just getting started with Geocaching. We purchased a Garmin Etrex Legend recently and hope to be able to connect it to the computer for uploading and downloading waypoints, etc. Can any of you help? Perhaps this isn't the right forum. If not, please tell me and I'll be happy to go on my merry way as I haven't enough experience with GPS to contribute otherwise and I can't connect to try out the GPS Babel software yet. It didn't work with the first cable I purchased. Thanks! Jim |

Perhaps this isn't the right forum. If not, You're right. It really isn't. We've had a couple of questions here lately that really have nothing to do with GPSBabel and I've resisted answering them becuase I'd like this list to remain about GPSBabel and not turn into another GPS tech area like, say, the Groundspeak/Geocaching Units and Software forum or the GPSPassion site. Both those sites are likely to reach a bigger audience for questions like this. I can't speak from much Mac experience, but the trend on this list is that people buying units based on the Prolific chips (such as the IOGear) regret it while the people buying Keyspan or Magic Control Tech products seem to be happy. I have no clue how to get Japanese maps into your unit. Sorry. Good luck. -- Support GPSBabel by helping to improve it or fund those that that have done so.
