How to connect a Garmin eTrex to a Palm Tungsten T??

I'm trying to connect a eTrex Legend to a Palm Tungsten T. I have a Garmin
data cable and a Palm Universal Connector. What I need to find (but haven't
found yet) is the pin-out to wire the two together. Does anyone have that
info, or can send me in the right direction?

Thanks!

You really should try yourself you lazy ****** - it would only have taken
you 5 minutes using Google!

Legend - RTFM! Appendix F, page 58
http://www.garmin.com/manuals/eTrexLegend_OwnersManual.pdf
or search for "etrex pinout rs232"
http://www.syz.com/gps/etrex2info.pdf
data in (Rx) - green - pin 3 (next to key-slot) to pin 3 of DB-9
data out (Tx) - white - pin 2 to pin 2 of DB-9

Palm - search for "palm-universal-connector pinout"
http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/hardware/palmhardware
Rx (in) - 10
Tx (out) - 11

Remember that you must connect Rx to Tx and vice versa

David,

Thanks for the info, but it's not necessary to get abusive. I did search
using Google for over 2 hours and for the most part only found sites wanting
to sell me cables to connect the 2 units. I will admit that I tried "palm
universal connector pinout garmin", not "palm-universal-connector pinout"
that would have been more successful.

I did find
"http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/hardware/palmhardware/electrical_interface (16-
pin)signals.pdf", but didn't know which pin to connect to. I always to to
find answers to problems myself, before asking for assistance (rarely). This
is the first time I've been called a "lazy *******".

Thanks again,

Here is a couple of more links for info on the Palm Universal Connector:

They also sell various connectors there, including some with cables
already attached.

Being nice again, too much coffee?

and connect GND to GND - pin 1 on the eTrex to pin 7 on the Palm.
