Most versatile Garmin data/power cable for the price
By L. G. CHARLOT
Product works as advertised, build quality seems good. This cable set allows use of 12 volt DC power with any Garmin GPS that has the round 4-pin DIN connector. I purchased this cable for use with a 60CX. The 9-pin Serial connector provides RS-232 connectivity of the GPSr to other devices, quintessentially a laptop computer. On my 60CX, the RS-232 connection is used only for NMEA-0183 communications, all other I/O is by way of the USB connection.
NOTE: NMEA-0183 allows your GPS to send navigation position info to widgets like a Marine autopilot or chartplotting software. This cable would be a good choice for using a 60C series or similar Garmin GPSr on a boat or RV where the owner is running real-time navigation software on a PC, or wants to connect a 60C to a marine autohelm or tiller autopilot device.
This cable may likewise be applied in a automobile or RV to provide 12 volt power only to the GPSr, without using the RS-232 connector, though there are other low-priced power-only cables available for this intent are are less bulky.

Good in parts.
By Paul H
The 12v adapter works ok with my Pilot 3, once I'd pushed the plug right in, but the PC interface cable doesn't.
The PC will neither recognise nor power the GPS. So there's a thick cable and plug which is utterly useless. Pity.
Especially as shipping to the UK doubled the price.
