Well, I've installed the TT gps package on my Newt, except now I don't
know what I need to connect the cable from my Garmin 12 to my Newt. The
Garmin cable has a regular DB9 female PC-style connector. I also have
PC adapter cable for my 130 that also has a DB9 connector female
connector. Can I simply use a gender changer to connect the two cables?
Or do I need a special cable with a DB9 male connector and a Mac DIN on
the other end? If I need a special cable, where can I find it? I've
searched fruitlessly on eBay for something like this. Help!
