  1. Thank you for confirming my observations. I have looked further into this and not even course is supported corrctly. If I use GpsGate I get the course. I hope that Garmin vill improve this soon!
  2. Spanner mode allows you to get position only. If you want to get/put waypoints/tracks/routes you need to use file transfer. I'm assuming Ozi will read/write gpx files. If so these FAQs should help: http://garmincolorado.wikispaces.com/Data+Transfer#toc2 http://garmincolorado.wikispaces.com/Data+Transfer#toc3 Spanner is not supported on Vista. From Garmin's Spanner page: WARNING: Spanner will be updated to support Vista in the upcoming weeks. Right now the Spanner download does not support Windows Vista. GO$Rs Thank you for your reply. There is a way to import and export gpx files but unfortunally, changing between "spanner mode" and "disk mode" in the Colorado by pulling cables and re-boots is not a convinient way of working. To be honnest, it sounds so inconvinient so I have not even tried if it works together with Ozi. With my old Garmin 12XL it works fine with PVT mode to upload and download routes and WPs. I just have to set the unit in Garmin mode instead of NMEA. PVT works fine for positioning so some support is there. Regaring spanner to Vista it looks like Garmin has said that it will come in some weeks since February 8, 2007. It has at least been written like that since the last 3 weeks when I have been looking. Vi hörs!
  3. I don't have Ozi to verify but I'm pretty sure you don't need Spanner - I think Ozi supports native PVT. GO$Rs I am trying to use my Colorado together with Ozi, but have some problems. On my old PC (XP) it works fine both in "spanner mode" and PVT mode to get the position into Ozi and track where you are. BUT I can´t upload waypoints or routes from Ozi to Colorado. Has anybody succeded with this. Furter more, on my new PC I have Vista and it seams that spanner doesn´t support that. Is that right, or am I searhing on the wrong place? Sorry for any strange english, my native language is swedish.
