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

Thank you other reviewers!!! I said to myself, I said, I can't get this thing to work. I'm going out on Amz to find out what the other reviewers recommended, because I bet they've ironed out the bugs. You sure did. 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.
BTW, I bought the Iogear USB to Serial interface cable on Amz. I have Windows Vista, so I got the .zip file Iogear provides. It has all Windows drivers. The Vista drivers worked great. Nice of Iogear to support all the Windows versions in one handy download. Wish I could say the same for Kingston flash drives, but I digress.
Anyway, I am beginning to find that these reviews of technical products on Amazon are more helpful than the manufacturers' websites. This is especially true of Garmin.
Thanks again, everybody. Sure is fun when something works. 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.
 It works, but Serial ports are outdated!!! Why no USB??? January 9, 2007

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...
