I've made the same observation

Great idea! I DO hotsync with a Palm so I give that a try tonight when I get home. This probably would have also stopped me from DOWNLOADING to the GPSr which I haven't tried recently. Thanks!

I have a Magellan SporTrack GPSR and I use GSAK software. I am going on a trip where I will need to download 500 waypoints into the Magellan. However, that is it's capacity so I want to upload my existing waypoints in case I want to reload them, or some of them. I got close to success. I setup a database in GSAK called Saved Waypoints. I then clicked on GPS and then Receive Waypoints. It alerted me I was able to receive waypoints from the GPSR and asked if I was sure I wanted to do that. I said yes. Then an error pops up that says "Error sending waypoints. MAGPROTO cannot open COM1 for read. Error was Permission Denied. My cable is plugged in tightly both ends. Any help?? Thanks!

It is the first time I have tried uploading. I have downloaded many times without problem (using the same port I am now connected to). I do not use a USB adapter. I'm not sure if I have other com ports. I don't think so but I am not home right now to verify. Thanks!
