G.P.S. Cord wanted.

[wiley coyote]

I bought this Garmin Etrex 12 channel GPS recently. It's a 1999 model. It came with no cord to plug into a laptop. Does anyone have a spare cord they want to sell? Or, the same type of GPS and cord they want to sell. wiley.I

There's one here in Brisbane on Farcebook https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/896389228112498/
You'd need to confirm if data cable is provided with it.

Here's a brand new Etrex in a sealed package on eBay. As the description at the bottom shows, both the PC interface cable and the 12V adaptor cable were sold separately as "accessories", so won't necessarily be included with a used Etrex either.

Also found the cable available in australia but the price of $205 is a bit prohibitive.

Nope, just USB plugs on that one, for a later-model Garmin.

Johnny Appleseed have them for $55 but they are VGA serial port to the old etrax plug.

There not a very good gps I had one and many tried to set it and did not have much luck but it was burnt in my vehicle when it was stolen so I up graded the new one with maps and it works well and easy to set

Try Jaycar USB to RS232 cable. Have same GPS and works fine with such a cable. May need FTDI driver which should install automatically on later operating systems.

He will still need to obtain https://www.ja-gps.com.au/garmin/etrex-pc-serial-cable to connect to the proprietary Etrex connector

 

[FindSumStuff]

Still need cable that connects to Etrex.
True! Bought mine soon after purchasing Etrex years ago.

By the time you've faffed around with the above complications for linking an obsolete GPS with your laptop, I reckon you'd be better off buying this unused modern one that only needs an ordinary mini-USB cable to hook it up to a computer:
