I bought a Garmin 72 over the weekend while on vacation at Lake George, NY
for about $150.

When I got home, I wanted to load in a chart for the areas I power boat in
Connecticut, and realized no cable was included in the package. I see
Garmin has a kit 010-10489-0o for $118 online plus shipping - this is almost
what I paid for the GPS!

Well, several people have provided you links to cables, but no one has
informed you that unfortunately, the GPS 72 cannot display maps. About
all you can do is create waypoints on your PC, and transfer them to the
GPS.

Being a person who wouldn't own a Garmin anything even if you paid me,
the 72 is actually a glorified compass like the Magellan 300 series?

All the best,

Tom
