I'm trying to upload my hiking routes to my computer so I can view them on a larger screen. I've got the GPS (etrex H) connected to the PC with this cable but I don't seem to be able to access the GPS unit.

Good little cable.
Don't worry about the people who complained about the price.
If you can use it, buy it.
And you will be glad you have it.

Does what it's supposed to do. It'ds much slower than USB, but I have an older GPS unit.

Comment:
The cable works as it should. Just be careful to note that this needs a Serial port connection at your computer. My laptop on which I made my map and waypoints doesn't have one, only USB connections. Luckily I have an older desktop with a serial port and transferred my work there to download it to the eTrex. I've heard of a serial-to-USB converter cable, that would allow you to connect to a USB port, but I've had no experience with one.

Product slides into place quickly and works exactly as described. Cable is long enough to conveniently use the GPS real time with a mobile computer.
