This item was a waste for me. It does not even fit my Cpu. I think it should come with an adapter with a female end and a male end to be compatable with all Cpu's
i had a lot of trouble to find the right interface for my garmin, but this one worked very nicely on my pc XP.
All I had to do was give the little jack and extra push in really tight, and the download to Street Atlas went like a charm. Wish I could say the same for Kingston flash drives, but I digress. You sure did. I'm going out on Amz to find out what the other reviewers recommended, because I bet they've ironed out the bugs. Thank you other reviewers. Sure is fun when something works. Nice of Iogear to support all the Windows versions in one handy download. The Vista drivers worked great.
This is especially true of Garmin. I have Windows Vista, so I got the.zip file Iogear provides. I said to myself, I said, I can't get this thing to work. Anyway, I am beginning to find that these reviews of technical products on Amazon are more helpful than the manufacturers' websites. BTW, I bought the Iogear USB to Serial interface cable on Amz. It has all Windows drivers. Thanks again, everybody. I'm enjoying this Foretrex 101.
Great cable, just make sure to push it all of the way into the GPS device, or it won't download to the computer.
I had to spend another $35 at Radio Shack to get a Serial to USB converter cable to plug this into my laptop. Nobody uses serial anymore. Garmin ought to sell an updated cable (USB) for the ForeTrex units.
