Antenna Question

[ashman]

You can pick up the data cable off of ebay for $10-15 easy. To the best of my knowledge the Venture and up come with the cable.

Never bought from here, but I thought this might be handy for folks.

fyi, these being sold off eBay work quite nicely... a search for 'etrex 12v' will probably yield for even better prices too... (this was just the first item that was ending now, but this is what I have) if your gonna get a data cable seperately, I highly suggest this...

the legend comes with a data cable, that is the one I have... though i still bought a car-adapter+data cable combo for 50 bux... so you may be better off getting the basic and just buying the bundled car cable ... depending if you are going to do more wardriving than warwalking :)

... and if you are hardcore you could get the garmin gps sucition cup mounting bracket... though garmin doesn't seem to sell the single gps mount *anymore*, but you can usually find them at sporting good stores... around 30 bux... but if you want to have both a pda and gps on a suction like my rig you can get (*THOUGH I DO NOT RECOMMEND ... ARKON AT ALL, THE FUCKED ME OVER A COUPLE OF TIMES WITH THIS CHEAPLY MADE MODEL*)

Dual Function PDA / Phone Mount Kit

It is nice to see someone take the advice, instead of getting bitter. It the thrill of the information search that gets me going.

I dont see why people get bitter about things, when people like blackwave, octalpussy, Chris, Kelvin..etc etc, are obviously smarter about the topic(s) at hand. Just gotta lurk and listen to the smart people.
