Sorry for trouble: I got eTrex legend which is old model and interface is serial port, I bought a serial usb cable to connect to my laptop to do data tranferring but my laptop not detect anything... kindly advise.
Hi,
Have you tried using the cable with another device just to check it's working ok.. And try a different usb port also, they can be funny that way.
A Garmin rep I spoke to about this told me (off the record) to just go to my local electronics store to pick one up for app €15 as the same thing from Garmin would be about €75. So it's basically the same cable and should work. I tried it with a generic cable here in the shop and it worked in one usb port but not in the other two so a bit of trial and error is needed.
All that failing I'd bring it back to the shop and ask them if there is a different type you could try, possibly you need one with a higher data transfer capability.. But try the cheaper and easier options first..
