In order to connect your GPS to the serial port of a
personal computer you will need an interface cable. Further, if you wish to operate the unit using a DC power supply instead of using
"AA" batteries, you will need a PC interface cable with a 12 Volt cigarette lighter adapter. Please see http://shop.garmin.com/ for
detailed information.

Your GPS needs to have an unobstructed view of the sky in
order to receive satellite signals. The roofs of wooden buildings sometimes allow the satellite signal to pass through. In some cases,
simply placing the GPS receiver near a window will result in adequate signal strength. In all other cases, an external antenna most be
mounted outdoors with a clear view towards the sky and connected to your GPS receiver. We recommend the external antennas GA-29 (
Garmin part number 010-00174-00 ) or GA-26C ( Garmin part number 010-10052-04). Please see http://shop.garmin.com/ for
detailed information.
