Garmin User
I use four different Garmin GPS units, but the one that is of particular interest here is the Legend. The legend comes with a serial interface cable. The problem comes with the fact that I now use a laptop with no serial port for most of my GPS mapping purposes. Garmin does not provide a specific cable for linking the Legend to USB, and Garmin's USB-serial costs around 60 bucks. This cable does the trick quite nicely, but it is NOT plug and play. The software to run this does need to be installed, but the results are most satisfactory once installed.

Easy-to-use adapter for connecting a GPS
Like other reviewers, I bought this so I could attach my Garmin eTrex Legend GPS to my new computer, which doesn't have a serial port. The mini CD that came with it had the driver and a brief user manual. The manual said to install the driver before connecting the adapter, but I didn't read it so I did things in reverse order. (No problem.) The driver on the CD worked fine, though Windows XP MCE complained about it.

Pros: MUCH cheaper than Garmin's adapter, but just as functional
Cons: Old/non-Windows-compliant driver, no mention of proper order of installation on packaging (on CD)

Easy & quick
I also have a Garmin eTrex Legend. I couldn't believe the cable was serial rather than usb! Anyway, I got this Sabrent cable and it works perfectly. I used the included disc to install the driver and in a few short minutes everything was ready to go. I bought it from an Amazon marketplace vendor rather than the direct link and saved a few bucks.
