find me in china! 1) does the etrex H work in china?2) Is the etrex H more accurate than the etrex?3) How do I get a USB cable to use it with a PC?

Yes.Yes. That is what the "H" designates.You don't. At least, you will need an adaptor to hook to the serial cable that attaches to the eTrex.

You will need two cables to make the connection. Unlike the original etrex, the etrex H comes without a cable. You will need a Garmin serial port cable (Amazon: $26.98) and a Keyspan serial to USB adaptor (Amazon: $30.24). An alternative would be to purchase the Garmin eTrex Venture HC for $128.44. This model comes with a USB cable. Also, since you are downloading to a computer, I assume you will be using some type of mapping software. I have two programs, National Geographic Topo and MacGPS Pro. Both ask for "maximum characters in a waypoint name" which is 14 for the Garmin eTrex Venture HC and "maximum characters in a comment" which is 30. You will need two cables to make the connection.

Robert, unfortunatly no. The base of Etrex 10 is a little bit thinner than Oregon Series. You can try but......try to find someone with the Etrex 10 what kind of base they bought. Hope I could help you.

I live in Europe. and don´t understand the wallcharger. To me it's a strange thing.I wanted the product for the cable: to have a spare one. But is the wrong cable and doesnot fit the up24.You can use the PC with the usb cable, and If you have a wallcharger you don't need a PC to charge your up.

I would like to ask the same question because I want to buy it as a gift for my friends in China. Appreciate the manufacturer or user can answer us. Thanks.

I have 2 sets of MDREX10. The pair from Thailand sounds awesome (about 2 years old). Deep bass and clear treble. The last set I got 2 weeks ago were made in China and completely lack bass and sound "distant" as if the plug were not completely inserted. I attribute the difference to the location each were made since they are otherwise identical models. Not sure if this is common with others experience or even if helpful here, but thought to share it nonetheless.

Does anyone know if the eTrek Vista HCx will average a waypoint?I use that feature all the time on my old GPS III plus (reuse/update my vehicle waypoint as an example)

I actually searched for "HL-340" Drivers which is the item's official "technical" name, and seemed to come across some odd Chinese and non-Chinese drivers, but they both worked for me! I canz putty all day long now ;) haha (idk if that helps any but it worked for me!)

Dear DMG. You are doing everything right. I am a PI and this device is my backup I carry for just-in-case-have-to-record situation. I have listened to it using all the players on my computer. These Chinese made systems are binary: they either work and are great or you send it back for a new one and hope the new one works! I had to send back THREE pen video recorders before I got one that worked!

--I contacted Velocity Micro asking if an external USB keyboard would work and I got the following answer:No the device is not plug and play compatible so a USB keyboard will not work with the reader. -AndrewCruz Support Technician--(follow-up query)Is there any chance an app can be written to enable an external USB keyboard to work or is the USB port on the Cruz Reader strictly for file transfers? Thanks.The usb is strictly for data transfer, it could be possible to write an app that goes around this however we do not have a development team here so it would be up to a third party developer.-AndrewCruz Support Technician--apparently the USB is not a full host controller. --I contacted Velocity Micro asking if an external USB keyboard would work and I got the following answer:No the device is not plug and play compatible so a USB keyboard will not work with the reader. -AndrewCruz Support Technician--(follow-up query)Is there any chance an app can be written to enable an external USB keyboard to work or is the USB port on the Cruz Reader strictly for file transfers?

Would it work? Yes. Is it easy to operate? No. The menu system is remarkably complicated because it tries to do too many things. Personally I think the Garmin Etrex 30 is much better value.

China, don't waist your money. I only gave it a good review because they called my house and said someone was going to loose their job after i gave it a bad review. I didn't give it the better review until they had called my home many times and constant emails. i have not purchased anything from amazon since. I don't think amazon should let a vendor contact you by phone. Hope this helps

Thanks for the feedback. I've found that I can use other USB cables on other PC's even if they don't have the Creative Centrale software installed, so that's the good news. The Ac adaptors with the same kind of USB connector have not worked. So looks like I need to buy the zen Ac adaptor. It should at least allow me to listen and charge at the same time <grin>

I don't think anything isn't made in China! Actually, the chem strips for the FreeStyle were so unreasonably expensive, I bought the made in China Reli-On Prime from WalMart and use only the FreeStyle lancet! Chem strips and monitor is Reli-On. It is assumed there is up to 15% inaccuracy in any or all of them.

It didn t work in China where I spent 10 days. My hotel had the ethernet cable in the room but ..nothing. Fortunately, I could use the wifi area to work with the device. I don t know if it will be the same thing in another country. Gianfranco
