[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 250878, member: 3111"] Was there a driver you needed to install from a supplied disk by any chance? Generally when pc -> gps problems occur, its to do with either how the data is transferred and what form of data ( usb, digital, serial ), and also the file format that is being read / written. I'm running off very dry memories here..but you need to match the devices together with both the data format and connection type. For example, the garmin may be outputting a .txt, .gis, .nmea but the program in settings to read only .ini or another format, so make sure they both match up. Another problem I had was with the connection. In order for me to read gps data on some devices to transfer to google earth, I had to get an extra dongle from ebay which converts the usb port to serial port, which was then easier to convert and load into the program.. this was in early days of gps devices and google integration, hopefully for you it won't be as difficult nowdays with newer devices.
