Works great but designed wierd 
2004-03-25
The way this cable should have been made is with the Y connection near the cigarette lighter adapter instead of near the GPS. If the gps is placed on the dashboard, you have a cable stretched across your passenger seat to the laptop which gets in the way but I have used this cable and it works well.
It is a Crazy World 
2004-03-25
It is crazy how over-priced this cable really is. It is crazy that I actually bought it. If you don't mind the price, this cable is well made. I finally upgraded the firmware of my Geko 201 with this cable. BTW, the bootleg version of this cable costs almost as much, and probably costs more after you add the shipping cost. See what a crazy world we live in?

This item is an absolute must for operating your GPS unit out in the field when connected to a computer of some sort. Simply relying on the Garmin GPS's internal batteries leaves you with only an eight hour window of operation while if the unit is attached to an external power source one can expect unlimited usage.
works as advertised 2002-11-07
Mush have if you have a GPS and topo map software
may be isolated, but I had a problem 2002-10-28
I use this almost every day for 6 to 8 hours. After a few weeks of use the lighter plug in melted and blew the fuse. This could have been caused by a loose connection between it and the cigarette lighter plug. Anyway, I was on the road and couldnt wait for replacement, so I just replaced the end and have had no problem since. That is the only reason for the 3 stars, other than that it would get 5 stars.
Way over priced

This is a convenient cable to have, but not worth $35. You can get a compatible cable made by Gilsson Technologies selling currently on Amazon for $14.75....

GREAT 2007-02-27
Purchased this cable for my Garmin Vista. Use this cable in my vehicle connected to my laptop and 12volt power outlet. Never had a problem with this cable. Well made.
Great quality product for a basic unit 2006-06-30
Garmin continues to amaze me with their technology. The Etrex is one of the most basic GPS units that you can buy (also the cheapest). Without the cable, the Etrex is wonderful for nearly all GPS needs that arise. But with this cable, the Etrex is extremly powerful! With free software on the internet, you can send/receive information quickly from your computer and GPS.
The power option on this cable is also very convenient for long trips. I use my GPS in my vehicle quite a bit, and it is very handy knowing that when you get out of the vehicle, the disposable batteries within the eTrex have not been used. A dead GPS is worth absolutely nothing!
If you are just getting started into geocaching or other types of basic navigation, the eTrex and this cable is a very satisfying combination. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars is that the connector pin that attaches to the GPS tends to slip out with a minimum amount of force (not the cables fault). Depending on how you look at it, this is also a convenience if you need to disconnect the cable quickly.
low quality 2006-04-24
The power outlet adapter tip broke just from use and as a result, I can no longer power the etrex with this. the quality looks and feels very low on this.
Beware 2005-11-16
This cable, though listed under accessories for the Garmin eTrex Vista C, does not fit this gps. Works fine with the older model eTrex so I won't lower the overall rating but want other Vista C owners to be aware. It is a listing error, not a cable error.
