Should be included with product!

 

Cable works fine after you do a software download, but why in the world wasn't this included with the Geomate Jr. in the first place???? I feel like a sucker having to go back and spend $25 more on this "kids" GPS. The plug split open when I attached...

Broke when we updated!!!

 

So excited to try the Geomate Jr. Got the update started and when I went to pull the plug, the attachment cracked and came apart. We got the update, but now will not be able to sync inputed geocaches. A litte bummed that we have to pay extra for it,...

This is essential for the Geomate! No doubt about it!

 

Thisa should actually be included when you purchase the Geomate as it is VERY limited without it. Get it; you won't regret it.

Consumer review by:

Great for kids.

 

This is a little pricey but it is a must have for the Geomate Jr. It is very quick and easy to put several THOUSAND geocaches on your device. Works great.

DOES work with some Macs with newer OS (10.6.x)

Geomate JR cord

 

Dont buy a Geomate JR if you are serious about geocaching. I though this was a novel idea but it is a huge piece of junk. The menus are confusing on the unit and it isnt that accurate.

Consumer review by:

Don't geocache without it...

 

I agree that this is a necessary accessory for the Geomate Jr. The Geomate Jr. works fine without it, but it can be kind of annoying if you know there is a cache nearby, but you can't find it because it's not included on the original product.
