I just started using a Magellan Meridian GPS and downloaded Easy GPS, but I can't transfer waypoints back and forth between my GPS and my computer. I keep getting the message "No data was received from the GPS". I have it set to connect to COM1 at 19200 baud (whatever that means). I think I probably have to change some settings, but I don't know what. Any ideas? Set the BAUD rate to 9600. Thanks! I just tried that and it is still giving me the same error message. It doesn't seem to be connecting to the GPS at all. I have several waypoints in the database under User, but it isn't finding them. I have tried on different computers and it does the same thing. Any other ideas would be really appreciated. (Sorry if I'm in the wrong thread, but I thought someone in this thread would know Easy GPS). Set the Baud rate to 4800. In your software, make sure your cord is attached to the "com". Set the baud rate in the software to the same as gps. I am new to this and i use easy GPS. The help menue helped me LOADS!

I am new to GPSr's. I have a Magellan Meridian Gold v5.40. I would like to install Topo software but all i can find is Mapsend. From what I've read in the forums, this software has a lot of problems. Are there any other compatable software packages aavailable? shawn_beasley2@eku.edu
