Rosehip Aug 2020 4:43pm, 20 Aug 2020 17,455 posts	0 Rosehip Very long-shot here but: I found dad's old Garmin 72s handheld GPS unit. It works and it finds satellites - but there doesn't appear to be a data cable for it anywhere and so I can't get maps onto it. Just wondering if anyone happened to have upgraded to something less than 15 or so years old and would have a cable laying about a drawer somewhere?

Rosehip Aug 2020 5:20pm, 20 Aug 2020 17,456 posts	0 Rosehip that's the right garmin end, but not the other, I don't think. What I want with a marine device anyway, I'm not sure - don't think it would take land maps but didn't have the heart to bin it without playing with it first to see what it can do!

Bright Strider Aug 2020 5:37pm, 20 Aug 2020 138 posts	0 Bright Strider The US Garmin website lists the one Fetch found, but also a PC interface cable, for $38.09. buy.garmin.com Sadly, it looks as though they won't export beyond the US, and the UK Garmin site does not list it. However, this chandlery does, for £28 plus shipping: force4.co.uk

Rosehip Aug 2020 6:15pm, 20 Aug 2020 17,457 posts	0 Rosehip hmm, do I splash out £28 just to see what it can do and then try and sell the whole unit to a sailor when I find it's not good on land? no Garmin uplad issues here earlier, Old Croc.
