USB to serial adapter for Garmin GPS
Have recently bought a lovely shiny new Garmin GPS196. And the European City Select pack so I can use it in ther car as well. Only one issue:
In order to transfer routes from my laptop to the GPS, you need to connect the two machines directly - ie. not as a transferal via the card writer.
Both my laptops have no serial (DB9) output. The GPS requires a DB9 connection, as far as I can tell. I've not found a USB lead anyways...
So - I have seen a few USB to DB9 cables for sale - but my suspicions are aroused by the fact that they seem to range in price for about £20 to around £60. But they all purport to do the same job...
Anyone solved the same problem who want to impart their wisdom?
Cheers!

Oh - if it's relevant, both lappies are running Win XP. I've only got CitySelect running on one of them, before anyone replies on this point!
