Ouch!, I suppose that you made sure they didn't just add a baud rate setting and have it default to something other than 4800? (unlikely since most equipment that you link to is 4800 baud only). ..and you did report it to Garmin didn't you? Updated to version 4.0, NMEA works

Ouch!, I suppose that you made sure they didn't just add a baud rate setting and have it default to something other than 4800? (unlikely since most equipment that you link to is 4800 baud only). ..and you did report it to Garmin didn't you? Yes this problem is reported to Garmin, "Thank you for contacting Garmin International. I would be happy to help you with this. What we would suggest is to back grade the software on your unit to recover the NMEA capability. Use the link below and choose the the option GPSMAP60cx 3.70.exe. I have included instructions below. • http://www.gpsinformation.org/perry/gps60/ 1. It is recommended that you disable screen savers or other programs running on your PC while you go through the update process. Disruptions to the update process may render your GPS inoperable. If the transfer is interrupted, turn off the GPS and then turn it back on. Reboot your PC, go to step #9 and attempt the download again. GARMIN is not responsible for failed downloads of operating software to the GPS and factory resetting the GPS unit will fall under our Flat Rate Repair Policy. 2. Click on "Download" and choose to save the file to your computer. 3. Choose a location where you can easily locate the file by saving it to a location such as the "My Documents" folder or to "C:\". 4. Once the download is complete, go to the location where you saved the file. 5. Locate the downloaded file and double-click on it. This will launch the Win-Zip Self Extractor. This program compresses the data to allow for a faster download of the needed files. 6. A program window will appear asking you where to "Un-zip" the files. This is by default C:\Garmin. You can change this location if you like. Be sure to note where the un-zipped files are going to allow you to find them! 7. Click on the button labeled "Un-zip". 8. Once the un-zip process is complete, click on the "Close" button to exit the Win-Zip Self Extractor. 9. Connect your GPS to your computer using a GARMIN PC Interface cable to an open USB port. Turn the GPS on. 10. If your computer asks for a driver, please see the software and installation instructions that came with your device, or download and install the USB driver from Garmin's website at www.garmin.com. 11. Open the C:\Garmin folder (or other folder where you un-zipped the files), locate the file named 'Updater' and double click on it. 12. You should see the name of your GPS device next to the 'USB Device' option on the Updater program window. Select the 'USB Device' option, then click on 'OK' on the Updater program window to start the data transfer. With Best Regards, Vern M.
