sends me his Garmin-compatible
connectors (called pPlugs) in 3 colors: black, the original
purple, and now bright yellow. I normally always have all types
available. If the color you choose is momentarily in back-order,
I will contact you before shipping.
These plugs fit Garmin models 12, 12xl, 38, 40, 45, 48, 89, 90, 92, GPS II, II+, III, and StreetPilot but not the 95 or 195. Suggested pledge: 4,50 EUR - V.A.T. Incl. |

b - ePlug connectors, for Garmin® eTrex and eMap
| After
a lot of research and re-engineering, Larry finally managed to
successfully build connectors for eTrex and eMap receivers, two
increasingly popular models. The design was more challenging than
for the regular model, but we're confident these new plugs will
honor Purple's tradition of quality and reliability in DIY connectors.
Suggested pledge: 5,50 EUR - V.A.T. Incl. |

For making your serial data cable, you probably need a 9-pin female connector*. The one I propose you meets the highest quality standards: full light metal alloy body, 2 thumb screws, and a choice of cable clamps to fit any cable size between 3.5 and 13 mm. For more details, download the technical data sheet (3.0 Mb), or visit McKee Hagborg's web site. Price: 5,00 EUR - V.A.T. Incl. *DB-25 or male plugs available on request |
| Finding
the right cable to fit a connector can be difficult, and you sometimes
have to buy more than you'd like. No problemo, I found
some for you !
Composed of 4 cores 0.22 mm2 (1 Amp/core rating), it's all you need to make a nice-looking, flexible power/data cable. Outside diameter: 3.4 mm. For orders of 2 connectors or more, you will receive 1m of this cable free with each connector. Naturally, you can request more, for a supplement of 0,50 EUR /m. |
 |
REMARK: Cable may or may not be screened by a thin metallized foil, depending of available supply. Grounding this shield is however not required, due to the very low speed of serial connections. When used, the drain wire should be connected only at one end of the cable, preferentially on the computer side.
2. Complete cables and assemblies
NEW! There are many more cables now available. While our new web pages are being written, please go immediately to the order form, where you will find the full list of available products. Links are provided to the US site, for a detailed description and pictures.
a - Data cables, for eTrex and eMap
 |
The
eD1 cable allows you to connect your eTrex or eMap receiver
to your desktop or laptop PC via an unused serial port (standard
DB-9 plug). Use it for upgrading the firmware of your receiver,
or for transferring routes, waypoints and tracks to and from your
PC.
These cables are also poweready, which means that the GPS power inlet is routed to an unused pin of the DB-9 plug. Please check here for full specifications and more details. Price: 17 EUR - V.A.T. Incl. |
Please make sure to check also our selected links, and find dozens of freeware, shareware and commercial software compatible with your receiver.
b - Car power cables, for eTrex and eMap
| The
eP3 cable allows you to power your eTrex or eMap receiver
from the cigarette lighter plug of your car or motorbike.
It's a regulated 3V switching power supply, which reduces heat dissipation to a minimum. Thanks to its famous ePlug connector, it fits to all Garmins of the eTrex or eMap families. Price: 19 EUR - V.A.T. Incl. |

c - Data / power cables for Garmin and HP iPaq - New!
With the recent release of state-of-the-art navigation software, like Tom-Tom Navigator, Michelin MapSonic, Alturion GPS standard and more, many Garmin users wish to connect their existing GPS receiver to their PocketPC, and power both devices from the cigarette lighter plug. For this application, we have developed 2 different cables, for use with most popular Garmin models.
Please check our pCombo-PDA and eCombo-PDA cable sets, as well as the BA-i38 adapter.
