In GSAK, goto GPS=>Setup..., under "GPS Brand" select Garmin; do NOT check "GPSr is USB" (even if you are using a USB to Serial adapter); select the Comm Port (Comm 1 generally, if using a USB to Serial adapter use the Comm Port assigned when you installed it); set the "Maximum waypoints for GPS" to 500. To send waypoints, plug in cable, plug in GPSr (turned on), goto GPS=>Send Waypoints..., make the selections you want (or just check "Use Defaults") and click "Send". Gave it a try without much luck. I did exactly what you said, and GSAK goes to "not responding." I never even get a dialog box like is shown in the Help menu example for GPSr Send in GSAK. After about 5 or 6 minutes I've been Ctrl Alt Deleting. I don't understand why it's doing that. I put a GSAK filter in place so that I'm only trying to put 30 of the 500 waypoints in GSAK into my GPS. I'm trying direct to serial without the USB adapter, by the way.

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

I am wondering about this also. I have a basic yellow Garmin eTrex, GSAK, eTrex to serial cable and, if needed (not sure for my PC but figured it would be for the new Sony Clie I just got my husband for our anniversary), the USB to serial. I'm getting tired of entering waypoints by hand. I'd like to know how, using GSAK, to upload waypoints into the eTrex.

I am having the same problem. I can run a pocket query, download it into GSAK and filter it to those I want to put in my basic yellow Garmin eTrex without a problem. I got tired of hand-entering data, so I just bought a serial to eTrex cable to connect the eTrex to the PC. Now, what format do I export files in so that my eTrex can understand? Are there any other tricks to this? I have yet to try the cable.
